Devil's Tower

I had a lot of luck making this image. When I got there it was in the middle of a downpour. I drove around looking for a good place to set up while it rained. I was fortunate to find this spot. The cameras were about 20 feet apart. One of the difficulties of doing hyper-stereos is that you have to find a spot where you can set up the cameras so that they are the right distance apart, are perpendicular to the lens axis, and are the same elevation. Meeting all of these conditions at the same time at the site of an interesting scene is difficult to put it mildly. I shot this one in regular black and white film as well as IR, but perferred the darker sky and lighter trees that the IR gave. This image has won several awards in Photographic Society of America competitions.
