(This has a drop shadow instead of my standard border. Please let me know what you think.)
This is not HDR, but it is a Vertorama.
You can't plan things like this. Sometimes you just have to have luck on your side. We were a bit late leaving Bear Lake on Sunday night and knew that we'd be driving in Logan Canyon as it was getting dark. As we headed out of Garden City, Utah and up to the summit, the entire sky began to change. Unfortunately we had a mountain range in our way and could only see parts of the sunset. I hoped that we would get to the summit in time to see at least part of the rest of the sky.
Just as we made it to the summit and pulled off the road, this is what we saw. The colors lasted for about five minutes and then disappeared. Luckily we had two cameras and lots of eyes. This was just one of those skies that you never forget, and this shot does it little justice. Had we left on time, or a few minutes later, we would have missed this entirely. The only place that this was visible was in this one small spot at the summit. What a wonderful spot to find ourselves in.
This is a handheld vertorama - no time to dig out the tripod. One exposure on top, one on bottom. The snow road that you see is a snowmobile trail that travels under the main road and then heads in both directions to hundreds (thousands?) of acres of wide open spaces.
