Devil’s Signature Over Mount Holly?
Lou Nachman – Mt. Holly Contrails
Lou Nachman makes his debut appearance in this series with a dramatic sunset image captured in the skies over Mt. Holly, in Gaston County, northwest of Charlotte. The contrast between the darkening earth and brilliant sky serves to bring these artificial clouds into sharp relief. With the strong winds aloft, it was only a short time before the pattern became a memory. Lou utilized a 4 times neutral density filter to help balance the overall density of the scene but even with that, the foreground remains a silhouette. The high cloud formations add the perfect finishing touch.
