End of the world

Photographing dramatic skies or light conditions is one of the easiest ways of getting powerful and beautiful image. You just press shutter button, apply a bit of post-processing and you're done :) the only difficult thing is to actually come across such conditions. A lot of patience and a bit of luck is required.

I took this HDR photo in Dahab, Egypt last year.
