Went for a hike with the camera on a hazy day. Caught a nice splay of color when a cloud got in front of the sun. I clearly don't have a wide enough lens (using a 35-80mm from an old film body on a crop sensor) as I didn't capture as much as I wanted.
C&C is welcome. I'm posting the shot uncropped and cropped. TBH I got closer to the composition I wanted with my cell phone, lol. I hiked without my tripod so I couldn't try HDR, or multiple shots to stitch into a panorama. I feel the foreground is too dark, but when I shot at a higher exposure it blew out the colors and rays coming from behind the cloud and took all the drama/interest out of it. Hope you enjoy.
