I'm a Los Angeles-based photographer specializing in urban and landscape photography. I first studied photography in college, and continued to dabble in it on and off over the years. I began to pursue photography seriously when I purchased my first digital SLR a few years ago. I spend most of my time photographing the Sierra Nevada, California Coast, and desert Southwest areas.

Dramatic indeed! Great photo in a natural black and white and a bit of rust color. I’m afraid my mind will store it and use it in one of those falling nightmares I have on occasion :)

What lens, exposer and filter did you use? it is a very striking image almost scifi.

13th November 2010 at 12:49 am

Thanks for all the nice comments – Geisel, I was using a 70-300mm lens (at 168mm) with a circular polarizer, ISO 100, f/22 at .10 second.
