Sneffels Downpour

Lots of dramatic skies lately around Ridgway and the northern San Juan Mountains!

I often shoot this same (or very similar) scene from my backyard, and it's always a pain to focus stack a bunch of photos to get the foreground sagebrush, pinyon pines, and background mountains all in focus, especially when it's windy and the trees are blowing around. For this reason, I often use a Pentax 75mm medium format lens with a Fotodiox tilt-shift adapter on my Sony camera. The lens tilt allows me to get sharp detail in both the foreground and background all in one shot, and as an added bonus the Pentax 75mm lens is one of the sharpest lenses in my entire collection!
