The Photograph, "I Stood In Awe As The Heavens Opened", Was Made In Utah's High Desert After A Vicious Six Mile Trek Across The Stone Riddled Sands. I Had Scouted The Area The Preceding Day To Find The Best And Most Meaningful Composition Of This Peculiar Landform Called Factory Butte. A Storm Was Blowing Out And In The Third Or Fourth Second After The Sun Cleared The Horizon, The Image Was Duly Recorded. Timing, Camera Placement, Lens Selection, Unique Perspective, Atmospherics, Storms, Sunrise And Other Compositional Elements Create Fantastic Drama In This Commercial Landscape Photograph By Brian Buckner Photography, Shreveport, Louisiana
