Wow thanks so much! I thought this contest was over when I saw Brant's "Power Lines" shot... I really like that one.
My shot did take a bit of planning, and a lot of stubbornness. I had made several trips there, and I wasn't going to give up on the spot until I got what I wanted. That particular morning it was actually raining just 5 minutes earlier, and I was fully ready to pack it in. But then a small patch of red appeared, and a few seconds later the sky completely took off. The next minute was completely frantic. I had just enough time to do two sets of panoramas, before the colour vanished. Landscape photography is supposed to be calm and contemplative, but this was as wild as photographing a polar bear right in front of me. I know the saturation in the picture looks a bit jacked up, but trust me it's not! It was a crazy morning, well worth setting the alarm clock for.
Thanks again everyone!
