When you can't see a thing, you take the photograph and hope for the best. In this case, I was ecstatic at the result. After a few framing adjustments, I was able to make a panorama. Sometimes there isn't an easy day, and photographing can almost be a chore, especially when the results are less than satisfying. In this case, this was all in one day, and although the light was challenging, all of these images worked out very well.
The West has an interesting relationship with fire. The fire crews spend time deep in the woods managing the understory and thinning out forests to prevent bad spreading of fire. We are learning to control the natural elements to be able to allow for healthy burning in the National Forests.
All day the clouds were rolling through, dripping rain, covering the sky and opening up periodically. It was a fight for the light, but in the end we were able to make some spectacular photographs. The light came out twice for a few larger scale images, and the Coconino Forest has always given me the greatest of all gifts.
