This is not a manipulated image, the scene was as shown. The sky was simply amazing that day!
This image would not have been possible without digital technology. The original was made using my Mamiya RB67 and 37mm fish-eye lens (of course the fish-eye with it's almost 180 degree view helped dramatise the sky further for me). I used Ilford FP4 plus BUT the batch was faulty (unbeknown to me until after processing) and the negative has the backing paper numbers and marks all over it (obviously batch exposed to light during manufacture I suspect). If it wasn't for the fact that I could scan the neg and retouch out all the crap courtesy of Ilford this image would never have seen the light of day.
It is one of my favourite images. Having said that many people don't like the name carved into the rock, Mr Riley, but this is a piece of history. Marks left by someone from the 1920's I believe.
