Season of the Second Sunset at Arapaho Bend

One thing about severe weather season is that is produces some enormous clouds that act as perfect supertall sunset catchers out on the plains. After the sunset in the west, really tall supercells are just beginning to light up with color to the east.

Image Notes: five frames used to generate an HDR that was then hand blended with the non-HDR middle EV exposure and then tuned in PS for toning, color and a slight vignette was applied. Had a great outing with some old friends on this shoot, thanks for joining me guys!
