Monsoon Season in Monument Valley

[Bob Israel]

Driving along the highway just outside Monument Valley we could see the rains moving in. As they got closer, we stopped a few times long the highway to capture the scene.

Excellent images, Bob. Black and white is an outstanding choice.

Neat to get the scattered squalls amongst the buttes. Nice work with the B&W.

Thank you both! I'm glad I had my zoom kit to capture these. On the framing vs cropping is always best when running and gunning!

Man those are pretty. I like both but the first one really pops

Thanks Jordan. I agree on the first one. There's good light on the rocks and a lot of rain!

Great job Bob! #2 is my favorite! Both are great, and a zoom is the way to go. You end up with better image quality then cropping since a zoom is optical.

Really cool - I am sure so many dramatic shots to be seen out there when those skies combine with the type of scenery that is out there. Great B&W conversion on these.

The B&W really highlights the drama of the storm. Very nice.
