Sierra de Lujar II Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another one of Sierra de Lujar - please refer to the first one (close up) for more informative note.

This wide-lens shot explains the light effect on the previous photo. The 'umbrella' of dark clouds gathered on top of the mountain together with low sunlight (an hour before sunset) casts beautiful light and shadows.

Minor PP included curve and contrast adjustments.
Hope you'll enjoy this one as much as I enjoy memories of it!

Very impressive shot. The clouds are so heavy, it is surprising that the mountain still manage fight back ;-). What I find interesting is the light on the mountain and the landscape. Very well done, Robert.

Woooow, it's so impressive! And you took perfectly the picture to show us that incredible cloud. The composition and quality of the picture are perfect! Congrat!

Hi Robert,
a spectacular scene and an unusual perspective you have here, a great view. The colors are deep but still natural. Very carefully done, and very effective!

Well, if that doesn't look like an "impending doom" setting I'm not sure I ever saw one. Very impressive to see this conglomerate of clouds hugging the top of the mountain, and the atmospheric light contributes to the impression. Of course the low placement of the horizon and the relatively huge amount taken by the clouds in your frame accentuate the setting even more. Good job, Robert.

To me a very original image, by concentrating on the cloud you have come up with something (IMHO) that is unique - well done :)

Very nice shot, these clouds looks very impressive and dramatic. I like the wide angle effect used here, it brings out the scale of the sky and the clouds. Well captured Robert!

Wow, very impressive to see the whole thing like this. It's almost like a volcano that has let loose a torrent. Or perhaps some kind of haunted peak collecting forces from all over the place. The colors and contrast are really nice. The wide view gives a really broad feel as you look up like this. Very neat. Impressive conditions, too.

Incredible sky, a fantastic effect !
Few minutes before the end of the world ?

C'est très impressionnant de là où je me trouve, c'est à dire de mon ordinateur, mais sur place cela devait l'être encore plus ; fabuleux cliché, bon contraste et bonne netteté.
