Wildcat Point Sunset
Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 6:00 pm
For those of you familiar with this spot know how special the sunsets and
views can be, especially during/after thunderstorms.
On my last trip I was fortunate to get a lot of activity the very first night out
in which mother nature gave me a present for my years of effort.
The many years I have been taking photo's, this year, and 2009 gave me
a spectacular lightening shot (this year is not over yet), I guess sooner
or later persistence pays off.
While enjoying the southern sunset views towards Tuolumne Meadows, and the
Cathedral Range, which I got a gorgeous 24x50 pano shot of, there was occasional
lightening to the north and west.
Then turning my attention towards the ever changing colors to the west
I got several shots of lightening but neither were going in an angle that was
particularly appealing or dramatic enough, but then from a darker cloud in the
middle of the frame a bolt shot across towards the highest peak on the left side of
the picture.
Add in the intensely dramatic colors brought about because of the thunderstorms
and earlier rain activity it made for a truly memorable moment, one wishes for, or
envisions, but never materializes.
Please turn off the lights in the room, click on the link, close your eyes for 3 seconds
to get the full affect.
Hope you are as blown away as I was.
Enjoy.
PS This print is for sale 16x26 and 24x26 sizes, PM if interested.
