Mongolian Sky Photo

Photographer’s Note

I saw Timotey's Clouds Attack and I was impressed by how distorted just a simple Auto-Colour feature in Photoshop can make a picture. So, I tried it here. Unlike his photo, where auto colours took away some of the colour and made the clouds look really crazy, it seemed to simply add saturation to my photo. I like how it turned out anyways.

This is a photo of the mountains behind the town of Moron, taken from the airport.

I took this with my wide angle lens to fit all of those massive clouds into one shot.

An amazing photo Mike, I love the sweep of the landscape here although the clouds are the real scene-stealers. That's pretty much how I imagined Mongolia might look, but I guess I'll have to go there one day & find out. Finally, I like the levels -- sky, hills, grass, they melt nicely into one another.

Autocolor gave you beautiful colours, but what I like here is the BIG sky and feeling of distance. Wide angle did its job. A very nice shot!
BTW I was in Moron 10 years ago and I am glad there are still no skyscrapers there ;-) - time stood still

Great vista! Nice colors and saturation. I really like that upper cloud just reaching out from above the mountain. I tried to do the whole Ansel Adams thing in a WS.
