We were on our way from Denver to Jackson Hole, driving along HW 789/287 between Rawlins and Lander, Wyoming. Off to my left in the west was a summer rainstorm, backlit by the sun. No, this is not that scene—it's elsewhere in the gallery, titled “Wyoming Rainstorm."
But as I returned to the car, I looked to the east and, lo and behold, found yet another vista worthy of pointing the camera towards. The dynamics of the clouds over the undulating landscape gave me the opportunity to create a completely different image than the one that had initially caught my attention on the other side of the road. One of the maxims of location photography is to turn around and look at what’s behind you.
