Distant Thunder, the Scent of Rain

Uploaded: June 28, 2005

Description

Rocky Mountain springtime can bring sunshine, a sudden rain or even a foot and a half of snow at a whim, without so much as a how-do-you-do. Up North from Flagstaff Mountain over the Front Range north of Boulder Colorado this spring storm was gathering to drop onto the prairie.

Exposure 1/50
f22
ISO 200
polarizing filter

Lightning composited from another storm shot. Saturation adjusted in Photoshop
