The Flinders Ranges again but about 10 mins later as we were driving down the main road. We had given up hope on the light as the sun was well hidden behind heavy clouds, so we packed up and headed back towards our cabin when we had an unexpected break in the clouds. We screeched to a stop and rapidly set up tripods on the side of the road.

The composition perhaps isn't the strongest, but I just wanted to show what a beautiful colour the ranges turn when the last of the sun's rays hit them.

What I do like is the reflected red glow of the ranges on the clouds.

7D; 24-105mm @ 45; ISO400; 1/80s; f4

A bit more of a rushed shot so the techs weren't quite what I wanted but sometimes you just take your chances.

gorgeous colour and light Hilary
I actually like the simplistic composition that places the emphasis on the glow of the ranges save for that intruding tree/shrub in the middle :w3
Might consider dodging the entire FG just a tad?
