Sometimes in landscape photography you're almost to your intended destination when you realize that the sunset may be better where you already are. In this case I was headed to Mono Lake when I saw great clouds over the entire basin as I approached. Knowing that the light of the setting sun would catch the Western (right) edge of the clouds but might not get much further, I decided to hang back on a ridge overlooking the basin and catch as much as I could in an ultra-wide lens. You can see the result.
If the color looks a little unreal to you here, then the image is a success… it looked completely unreal in person as well!

How wide is your ultra wide lens? I am shopping for one and curiorus..
Thanks! Wendy in OH
This lens is 16-35mm +Wendy Stahl-Frakes, and I also have a similar 10-22mm for crop sensor cameras. I also have a 14mm, but that one has the disadvantage of not being compatible with polarizing or graduated neutral density filters, so its usefulness is reduced.
Love these shots..reminds you to stop and smell the roses!
Breathtaking view.
Thank you for this piece of true love! Christian or non Christian, There is definetly a much higher power to behold in all His majesty! Laraine
beauty in all its glory..

Accidental findings of a worthwhile place, while pursuing somewhere/something else? How many times are we desert packrat-like in exchanging the discovered "something" for the one we had in mind already? HIGH FIVE, +Jeff Sullivan
Прекрасно и удивительно!
