Stormy weather over Zabriskie, I
« on: July 09, 2016, 02:15:14 pm »

Zabriskie Point is one of Death Valley's landmarks; here Manley Beacon's ridge is lit by the morning sun under a stormy sky.



With the Pentax 645z, 28-45mm, grad ND, solid ND, polariser. Thanks for viewing, best

Amazing. Fantastic sky. I'd be intrigued to see it in colour.

This is one of the better images I have seen made from such an iconic spot.  Always nice to see a location that stands out.  Nice work with the BW tones too.

Good sky and great B&W treatment. It's an elegant take on a classic.
Bravo!

Very nice.
Not that it matters, but I'm curious how long the exposure time was? 

BTW - I like this B&W much better than the color version in your filters article!

Thank you very much everyone for your kind comments, I am glad you enjoyed it! :D

As far as your questions:

@kikashi: Jeremy, I have seen this immediately in B&W, and haven't even processed a colour version of it. Colours were OK but not great, it wasn't a spectacular sunrise as far as the sky, and the drama of the scene made me think about B&W :D

@Brookie: the exposure was 2.5 minutes for this one. The colour one in my filter review article has been taken the same morning, but I agree with you - the B&W works better for the scene.

Thanks again, best

Vieri

Fair enough. It's stunning in B&W, certainly.

Thank you very much Jeremy, I have some images in colour taken the same morning in different moments, with different cameras, perhaps I'll post them in the future :) Best,
