The Storm by graemestevens

The Storm

I was going to hold back on posting any more beach/sea images, particularly after this mornings efforts...then I downloaded this. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but to me...well, I think it's pretty damned fine.
And you guessed it, best on black.
Yep... Fine indeed

You're banging out a damn fine tune on your trumpet with this one!! Fav
July 31st, 2015  
This is simply stunning - you deserve 10 Favs for the processing because all is not what it seems here! With a shutter speed of 1/1000 sec and ISO 100 there is much more light around than your photo would indicate. The dark and stormy scene you have created here is very cleverly done... I love it. The mean monkeys will only let me give you one Fav but if I had my way I would give you a hat-full!
July 31st, 2015  
@seanoneill Thank you very much indeed :)
@vignouse Thank you very much - I'm slowly learning more about the miracle that is Lightroom...I honestly didn't think any of my shots yesterday were salvageable but I'm a little bit chuffed with this one. Thank you again, always appreciate your feedback.
July 31st, 2015  
Another wonderful capture, lovely lighting Graeme...
July 31st, 2015  
A hat full of FAVs from me, too. Love it.

August 1st, 2015  
fab; you have managed to extricate light on the pebbles and maintain the threatening storm clouds. There is some skill here - not just having LR but using it so you should be justifiably pleased.
