One of the creative challenges I assigned myself while visiting Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada
was to make an image for a magazine cover. A cover shot needs a vertical format
and a simple, yet bold composition that catches the eye of readers,
but also leaves room to put text about the articles.
I used the Gibraltar Rock formation as my muse and manual camera settings to get the starburst;
then waited for an airplane to provide a contrail and negative space.
