April 24th, 2008 at 4:49 amThis is so amazing! I love a cloud with a silver lining. The reddish browns seem to just draw the sun light down for an intense fight with the gray. I like it a lot. Great Shot!!!!! EZ

April 24th, 2008 at 6:25 amI would call this Gale’s creation
and it is very nice. Likely HDR, but scenes like these is what HDR is best suitable for, beautiful resulting light and tones.

April 24th, 2008 at 6:55 amReally breathtaking. beautiful and unusual colors. I guess you are using a split ND here. HDR would be difficult to manage in the face of strong winds where tripod is stabilised by hand.
A blow up of this would go straight on my living room wall. -

April 24th, 2008 at 7:03 amVery nice shot. I feel there is a hand of some HDR. However it is a very nice shot and it has a very warming effect.

April 24th, 2008 at 2:15 pmHello several comments about this being HDR, No it is not. It is a blend of 2 captures, the cloud color is natural just exposed to bring out the detail. Thanks everyone for the great comments.

April 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pmNot very familiar with all the photospeak and abbreviations that separate those “in the know” and those of us that aren’t so sophisticated - just people who have a passion for photography - I think this photo is breath-taking, awe inspiring and captures the spirit of the canyons.
The comments serve as a reminder that if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance you can certainly baffle them with BS.

April 24th, 2008 at 7:20 pmGale your photo should be picture of the year! Outstanding! Perhaps there is a Bethlehem at the foot of those rays?

April 24th, 2008 at 10:22 pmIn addition to this wonderful photo, your site is most impressive. (Except perhaps for the audio, which blasted my ears).
Question, are your panoramas the result of a special stitching technique, special camera, or simply a narrow crop?

April 25th, 2008 at 2:49 amThe sunrays through the break in the clouds give a dramatic image

April 25th, 2008 at 1:36 pmThanks everyone for all the wonderful comments, I really appreciate it.
Kirk sorry the music blasted you. I plan on changing that. All the panoramas are shot vertical and stitched. I love to shoot them.

April 26th, 2008 at 12:01 amGale I am so proud to be a friend of the Rainwater’S. This picture motivates me to say.
“OUR GOD IS AN AWSOME GOD”. Thank you for taking the time to get down on your knees and holding the tripod to take this awsome picture. I want to come to the store and talk to you about it. Mr. Bill!! -

April 30th, 2008 at 12:00 pmExcellent shot! I love the colors and the overall scene. I have been to the southwest of the US last year, but didn’t have the time to go to Canyonlands. Judging from your picture, I really missed out on something beautiful!
