Atacama storm

Hi folks,

I hope you have a nice weather over there ! Because here in the south of Atacama we are stuck in some sort of storm. Still, when it clears up from time to time the view is quite amazing !

Here is the image in higher resolution:

Cheers,
Yuri

What a remarkable image. I take it you used a fisheye and were careful to have it level. What camera and lens?

Greg.

A beautiful photo Yuri.

Eye-catching composition.

I love the colours in the sky.

What lens did you use?

Ross.

Thanks for your kind comments, guys ! Such weather twists are not quite common here (however it does happen in winter) and it's quite interesting to observe them in all their glory For this particular image I used Canon 6D and Nikkor 14-24/2.8 lens.
