Deb Clark, Dramatic Mood (PLACES WILDERNESS 2024)

When storms roll into these mountains it is impressive. You have such a short time to capture the scene and I really wanted a moody moment from here. The scene caught my eye because the light seemed to sit near the top of the peaks while the clouds above were dark and threatening and the foreground was still deep in shadow. Captured in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand with a Nikon Z7 and 24-70 f2.8 lens.
