Liquid Force has made Lake Powell notorious for unreal photography. Well, LF or not, Lake Powell is known for unreal photography. Having their team of awesome riders there AND the classic Lake Powell backdrops are the perfect recipe for great photos.
On the annual LF trip one year, we got a bit of rain and clouds in the evening. The houseboats were just behind the ridge seen here in the photo. As we were watching the storm move through the area, the skies opened up blasting a strong light on the distant rock ledge. I had some black and white film already loaded in the camera when I found myself shooting this shot. It looks so dramatic because everything in the background was still pitch black and stormy, while the rock was the only thing lit up. I thought we were going to get wet at any second, even where I was standing. Exposing it was a bit tricky, but I knew if I nailed it right, the shot would look insane.
