06/17/12 Featured Arkansas Photography–Clouds over Petit Jean Mountain

Sunset sky over Pinnacle Mountain

Taken with a Sony Nex-7, Sony 18-200mm lens @ 18mm F5.6, Iso 100. I like to work the evening skies in the early summer time as many times you are treated to a play of light as seen on these clouds.  I had gone to the Petit Jean visitor center at Mather lodge and as the sun started to drop behind the hills some late evening clouds rolled in.  The play of light on the clouds was a real treat.  I ended up taking several versions of this scene and worked the shot up in both color and B&W.  The range of color at that time reminded me of some of the sunsets I had taken out in Colorado years ago.
