Landscape Image of the Week Andrew Aveley for the week ending Apr. 6th, 2012 - Apocalyptic Quivers

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Andrew!!!

Sorry for my absence on the forum .........I have been away completing a long awaited return to Southern Namibia to investigate future Landscape oportunitys. This image is one I captured on my first night of the trip near Keetmanshoop and the world famous Quiver Tree Forest / Giants Playground. The clouds were only situated over the town some 30 km away moving towards me. I had to sacrifice a little movement in the stars to get enough flow in the clouds. Canon 5D MK 2 on tripod with remote release , 30 sec , F2.8 , ISO 1250 , Canon 16 - 35 F2.8 @16mm.
