Taken yesterday morning in Palm Springs. I believe the 'sunbeams' are caused by dust particles in the air reflecting the sunlight and the clouds casting shadows creating the 'beams'.

Very nice again, Gene. Don't you ever take any bad pix?

Love the sky, but think there is too much foreground. I'd remove the bottom 25% of the picture - this would give the sky the empahisis it deserves.

Gary...LOL, thanks but I have enough bad images to fill a hard drive! :D

red_fan...thanks for the comments, I agree with you that it would look better cropping out some of the foreground.

Way to have your camera ready so early in the morning.
Awesome moment.
Agree on halving the foreground.
To go along with leaving the trees black you might darken the foreground sand.

Thanks all.

I'm up by 3:00am regardless of the day and am at my project site well before sunrise so it was pretty easy to be ready for this shot. :D

Here is the image above cropped as suggested. I think it does look better this way...thanks.

Gene, did you say you were playing with Oloneo? I tried it last night and was amazed at the speed and results!!!! Wonder what the commercial product will cost.
