SuperMarina's photos with the keyword: mountains

I've been told the first Star Wars movie was filmed out here somewhere.

As we were heading down CA 190 towards Stovepipe Wells, we could see the moon over the mountains in the distance. It was a pretty sight so we stopped to take a few photos. However, our cameras were not quite able to capture what we saw while on the road, so I had to use Photoshop to recapture the sight. This is it. Maybe not exactly what we saw, but pretty darned close!

No trees. No vegetation. But the mountains look pretty good naked, I think.

Taking good landscape photos ought to be easy, at least if one lives in areas with the kind of landscapes common in the places I have lived; Norway, the US Pacific Northwest, Southern California, and many more. Well, it isn't that easy. At least not to me. When going hiking, I take my camera in case a bird or a flower should show up. The landscape photos I take do not in any manner or fashion whatsoever do justice to the actual landscape. Ansel Adams once said that "A good photograph is knowing where to stand." I guess it was easier in his days, before somebody put up signs with "STAY ON PATH!" all over?
