Thank you, but I was lucky. The camera I used was an old five megapixel camera and it was just luck. The sun was setting just after a spring storm had just passed. The white lights at the base were the main lighting and the setting sun added the hit of red and the cloud formation passed by the Crosses within three or four minutes! My wife and I were going into a nearby restaurant and I just looked up and saw this beautiful vista. I ran back to my truck and took my old camera from the glove box and snapped the picture. I did not know what I had until I got back home and loaded the image on my computer. The image was so perfect all I did to it was to crop it from 4:3 to 16:9. I've gone back since and tried to take better images, but none look as good as this one.

It depends on how you look at it. Do you ever feel like your a small child and a parent tells you to look up at just the right moment? I think The Lord gives us the ability to surpass our God given talents and make something really beautiful.
In my art, some images just seem to come together with little effort, while others take months and they will never look like what I see in my 'mind's eye'.
My first panorama 'Stair Step Falls' [link] was taken manually from eighteen different images. I had to create a blank document and place all eighteen images inside and use the stitching feature in Photoshop to create the panorama.
Other similar images, I would have to rearrange the individual images several times before I get the result that I want. But not with 'Stair Step Falls'. One time was all it took. All I had to do was to blend the water in the pool to remove a small amount of distortion. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it feels like I was guided by God. Anyway, God is the source of all our talents.

I just got lucky. I've taken over one hundred pictures with much better cameras and none of them look this good. God was with me that day.
