Sunset at Monument Valley

oilfighter · 13th of May 2012 (Sun)

Technically, the sun had already set, but the last ray of light was there to give the clouds some color.

Beautiful shot. Do you recall how long the exposure was?

tmcman · 14th of May 2012 (Mon)

Nice. Like the soft light and motion.

I had to come back and post again. If I had this photo it would definately be on my wall. I really like this scene.

It was about 3.5 minute.
i stacked a few ND filters, and used a hard edge 2 stop nd filter to balance out the clouds and the ground.

A few people pointed that out (thank you all). When I tried to correct for it, it seems that what is actually happening is a very slight tilt, and the effect got compounded with 17-40mm's wide angle distortion. Looks like i can't really rely on DPP's fix...
