Dust Storm

[Steve Patterson]

We travelled though Utah a few weeks ago and drove into a big dust storm. Not unlike a blizzard, there were times you needed to stop because you could not see the road, or anything else. I did manage to get an image that I like, but it really doesn't do the lack of visibility justice.

Very moody image. I'll bet it was hard on lenses. This is one time you want a filter on!

You are so right. I kept a cp filter on, and the shot was taken from my car, but the camera and lens still were dust covered by the end of the day. You really couldn't get out of the car...it would have been like being sand blasted. Thanks for taking a look.

I like the image very much Steve, it looks like a take from a western move...well done...:cool:

Thanks very much, Gus. I appreciate your comment and you taking a look at it.

If I hadn't read the story I would have thought you added the effect in PP. Don't know if I would have even taken my camera out:)
