p.1 #1 · A storm is brewing.

Phoenix landscape gets really interesting during Haboob / Dust storm / Monsoon season.

I have taken this very same photograph/composition multiple times. There is some character when the storm clouds roll in with the cholla / jumping cactus around.

Great photo! Did you do much post-editing? Love how the composition just leads straight up to the sky.

Thank you.

Not much post processing. I used a ND 10 stop filter to get the clouds kinda flowing (10 second exposure).

Lightroom:

1. masked the sky to bring down exposure , add positive dehaze and reduce texture
2. Front cactus dodged it a bit.

Awesome. Always love when folks are able to capture something like this with minimal Lightroom work.

Not a fan of long exposure clouds, but I love this image. Very well composed with a complementary colour palette.

Thank you Rajan. I usually don't do long exposure clouds, but the storm clouds, kinda emphasized the eerie feeling.

Really nice drama in the background and a certain liveliness in the foreground. The contrast of the two is really entertaining, great comp and image!

Thank you Mary. It is a wide angle shot (12mm) pointed slightly towards the cholla cactus to get that view
