The light was really intense. It was all trapped under the heavy, dark cloud cover and appeared to the eye as my other photo (Mt. Peak II, above) did. The difference in effect can be accounted for with the white balance settings (I think that's what it was)...being neither sunny nor cloudy, but both, I toggled between the particular pre-settings (cloudy and sunny, in this case) and got a few different images. These two were the best of each general type. This is my favorite sort of light, with or without photographic intentions, and a rare treat to have my little camera on my desk when I noticed it. A short walk out back yielded these pictures of the local icon, Mt. Peak. I like your revision in the way it captures the light on the hill itself, but what made me partial to this shot was the brooding sky and the way it conveyes the mood provoked by the lighting. Thanks... | |||||||||||||||||||||
