This was not a capture I planned on working out. I only took three bracketed sequences of this shot (literally setup and captured them in a couple minutes), as I figured it would be a wash due to shooting directly into the sun. For one bracketed sequence; I blocked the sun with my fingers to get rid of the sun flares in foreground. Blending the exposures worked out ok.. If the little cloud would not have been there to diffuse the sun somewhat as it was rising, this would not have worked out with the sun star, as it would have been too bright and overpowering. Captured April 2015... © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY www.mikeclasenphotography.com

This scene was captured March of 2016 during one of the few photography outings I had been able to pull off that year. Beyond ancient toppled tufa-mushrooms, a full moon illuminates lenticular cloud formations, while thorns dance with the wind. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY www.mikeclasenphotography.com
