Dramatic Clouds Over the Atacama Desert, Chile

A cinematic, ultra-wide panoramic shot of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile under a dramatic sky. Heavy, moody clouds roll overhead as shafts of sunlight break through, illuminating vast expanses of arid, cracked earth, pale salt flats, and wind-sculpted dunes in golden tones. In the distance, jagged mountains and moon-like Valle de la Luna formations rise against a blue-gray sky. Foreground features cracked earth, salt crusts, and sparse desert flora; optional wisps of dust swirl with the wind. The lighting is high dynamic range with stark contrast between sunlit dunes and deep shadows, capturing a sense of infinite space and solitude. Color palette includes ochre, tan, and terracotta sands, bright blue sky, and cool purple-gray mountains. Composition: slightly low camera angle, wide 24-35mm focal length, deep depth of field to keep foreground detail and distant features sharp. Style: photorealistic, cinematic, 8K resolution, natural lighting, crisp textures, subtle haze for atmosphere.
