This is the south end of the San Joaquin Valley, looking west in the late afternoon. (Not normally what one would seek for a photogenic location.) We're heading for Tehachapi Pass and Gorman Pass is just off to the left in the mid-distance. The atmospherics always look like this. And I always shoot it. The high key somewhat mysterious look appeals to me.
Canon 5D3, 70-200 f/2.8 IS at 70mm, ISO 400, f/8, 1/3000 sec. Could (should) have gone to ISO 200 or even 100 and a wider aperture, but I get so many where there is camera shake from the slightest turbulence that I need to stay in the fast SS range -- 1/3000 can be tempting fate.
Basic LR tonal adjustments and into PS CS6 for some NR and a touch of Detail Extractor. Not much more to extract without a lot of noise due to the very low contrast subject. Cropped top and bottom so about 50% of the full frame.
C&C always appreciated. Thanks for looking!
