Blade of Light
A slit in the clouds reveals the blade of light which has pierced it… About as close to ‘straight from the camera’ as I could do, I performed only a noise reduction to combat the high ISO remnants. The darkness of the foreground was accented during conversion to sRGB, but there was none of the manual burning that I so often employ. This scene came following a rather unlucky turn of events on a most unfortunate photo drive, but it reminded me that the beauty of the land is ongoing and another scene will always show its face.
Oooooh, simply awesome Cody!! Love the abstract, even surreal nature of the scene. Great capture!
Simply incredible. This REALLY should turn up on FAPB
Your timing was amazing here, beautiful picture. Where were you? I’m afraid to ask about the unlucky turn of events you mentioned…glad you made it back to post this!
Wow. That is a wonderful shot with great timing.
Gasp! Stunning. Amazing work, yet again.
Wow, I didn’t think this image would get such a response. Thank you, everyone, for your kind words…I’ll try to follow-up with something to keep it going! Happy 3-day weekend!
Amazing!
It’s great what you can get if you stay out even the weather is turning.
Hi Martin. thanks for your comment. Indeed, it’s a fantastic opportunity to catch fleeting light and dramatic scenes. Some of my best images have come just before or directly after a storm has moved through. Though, you have to be careful, too - check out this shot I took a few years ago.
Wow, the picture is stunning! You need some luck, too, eh?
Keep up the great work!
