Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Painted Storm” by Jon Reynolds. Location: Badlands National Park, South Dakota.
“It’s amazing to see a late-summer storm approach in the Badlands,” says Reynolds. “The distance can be quite deceptive because even though it appeared quite a ways off, the storm was on top of me in just a few minutes. This was taken in the Painted Hills section of the park.”
Sony A99, Zeiss 16-35 f.8 lens at 20mm. Exposure: 1/15 sec., f/10, ISO 200.
