A morning storm fills the valley at Badwater Basin. Well after sunrise, fellow Sea to Summit Workshops instructor, Joshua Cripps, and I were greeted by some dark cloud cover. The salt flats took on an entirely new mood and feel once this happened and I processed this with a little darker.

Hope everyone has a great week ahead! Sea to Summit Workshops has a full class on Saturday and then I have my last art show of the year on Sunday. Cheers!

Nikon D7000
Tokina 11-16mm @ 11mm
1/10 sec, f11, ISO 100
Singh-Ray 3-stop reverse GND
Lee .3 (1-stop) GND upside down to overall reduce the effective strength of the reverse. Basically, if I had had a 2-stop reverse, that would have sufficed, but I don't, so I got creative with flipping a filter.
