Passing Light

Lake Meade National Recreation Area, Clark County, Nevada view map

*** Best view at original size ***

This is probably my favorite "Marcia Rules" transient light moment I have ever captured.
Driving along Highway 167 through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area provides many photo opportunities.
This one here was fleeting and I saw this peak coming into light but there were no turn offs on that particular
stretch of road. Sensing that the moment would be missed, I aimed the camera and fired off three shots as I drove
along. This was the better of the three and was cropped to remove much of the blurred foreground due to speed.
I did clone out a couple of blurred creosote branches in the foreground.

resourcefully captured with the light indeed in transition...the kinetic sense captured abets the briefness of the moment..
