I wasn't lying, was I? I saw this moving across the golf course across from our house and I couldn't get to my camera fast enough! At each stop, we only stayed a few minutes for 7-8 photos as the wind was whipping these clouds across water and sky, and I wanted to capture it hanging over as many locations as possible! Using 3 bracketed photos, it's taken me many hours this afternoon and evening checking to see what I liked most. This was amongst the first photos when we left the house...and to think that in that hour-plus, we never saw another photographer!
The drama in the sky is stunning. When I left the school I was in yesterday the sky was cloudy with a hint of colour as the sun started to go down. By the time I reached the motorway a gap in the clouds opened up allowing the light through. It rimmed the clouds with gold and there was a thin little finger of a cloud at the heart of it looking like it was pointing. There was nowhere to pull over and heavy traffic. By the time I found somewhere to stop it has virtually vanished and the snap was rather ordinary!
@ceilidh ...and those are the moments we can privately hold in our hearts... Surely we all have a scrapbook filled with the missed moments! Thanks m'friend!
@chard You've just made me recall the movie, "Cloudburst" that was filmed here (Olivia Dukakis & Brenda Fricker)...(actually a funny movie...finally saw it this summer)... Yep, that's the poster for it!
