I stayed in my RV near this desert view many times. I always kept one eye to the sky. As a photographer, I'd watch for some unique lighting conditions, cloud formations, the sun rise, and sunsets. When I saw this storm brewing, I headed out onto the desert floor. The sun was setting, that's why you see the brightly lit clouds on the mountain tops. The sun was hitting the mountains (notice the shadows) and there was enough light to create some shadows in the foreground. That said, I love the combination and contrast in this black and white photograph.
One of my favorite types of photography is abstract. Abstract photography can is presented in so many forms but I personally enjoy what I call, “Earth In Abstract”, which is essentially the way I see the earth (in an impressionistic way). As an expressionistic photographer, I hone in on linear lines, repeated patterns, strange formations, unusual markings, bold colors and contrast. Equally important in abstract photography however is its composition and cropping; both of which can “make or break” an abstract. That said, although it may be easier to break some the compositional rules in abstract photography, I do remain committed to my personal photographic boundaries (which makes each abstract photographer uniquely different). What I love most about this image is how the background linear lines interact with the opposing grapevine.
