Mythic

The weather stated thunderstorms, solid cloud cover, and just awful weather to dominate the landscape for the next few days. Yesterday, while I was getting comfortable sitting around the house irritated that I wasn't going to get out the storm system broke, and while my first thought was it would be just for a few minutes, the weather amended itself and said it would be partly cloudy with a chance of storms. So, I left the house at 4pm and headed out into the mountains. At first I thought I would be lucky to get anything, but the longer I drove the more the sky broke for me. Though that wasn't the only issue at hand, in the peaks act like a cloud forest, so I was driving in and out of a dense wall of clouds through the various peaks and valleys until I broke through at last. I hadn't intended to drive from the end of the parkway to Craggy, but as a photographer, it's my job to chase the light. This valley stretched off into the distance, different mountains, and a road in the very rear of the image. I sat up there in high winds, high humidity getting soaked to the bone. Other photographers came and went, but I stayed, waiting for my perfect light... this is the best of the shots I got, I hope you enjoy.

ISO: 160
Aperture: f11
SS: 1/30
Focal: 22mm

No filters, sitting atop a wall in the one place my view wasn't obstructed by the trees bellow, and I decided to do a 5 shot exposure bracket here to try and get the best of the dynamic range.
