coming in

There may well be a storm coming...this was taken about 5 minutes before it made landfall. during processing all I have done is a slight crop and to clone out a couple of twigs floating in the shallows. Then I ran for the hills.

I'm also away for a dirty weekend as of early tomorrow morning...so yeah...see ya...
Most ominous. Doubt it would be much fun out when the clouds decide to unburden themselves.

Wow ominous is right! Amazing capture of the pending storm.

Terrific photo. The way you have the bright surf dividing the ocean and clouds is great.
March 23rd, 2018  
Quite dark. Looks like selective coloring. Amazing!
March 23rd, 2018  
Great shot.
March 23rd, 2018  
Fabulous on black. The surfers look as if they too are running for hills!

@jamibann Thank you very much - the beach was rapidly emptying...
@bintal Thank you kindly :)
@domenicododaro Thank you very much - it does look like SC but there's not enough blood for that ;)
@amunash Thank you very much - the light was...peculiar, hence the "white line"
@hrb73 Thank you very much :)
@salza It was no fun at all...instant surface flooding!

March 23rd, 2018  
Wow. Let it come...
March 23rd, 2018  
Yes, yes I would run for the hills :)
March 23rd, 2018  
Looks furious
March 23rd, 2018  
haha....wonderful...looks like you have upset one of those four horsemen!
March 23rd, 2018  
I love this one.
March 23rd, 2018  
Wow - that is one ominous looking sky! Excellent on black. Enjoy your weekend.
March 23rd, 2018  
absolutely wonderful. love the moodiness and the human figures add a scale
March 23rd, 2018  
Very dramatic!
March 23rd, 2018  
Cool shot. Even the surfers look like they're running for hills. Bad weather + weekend away means you'll be stuck inside. Whatever will you do?
March 23rd, 2018  
Wonderful row of surf, you have some amazing waves in NZ!
March 23rd, 2018  
Very dramatic sky, hope you didn't get wet
March 23rd, 2018  
See ya. Don't get caught in a storm. Those figures look like they are trying to make an escape. Super shot.
March 23rd, 2018  
Dirty weather, dirty weekend, you're a grub. Fantastic storm shot, squire, looks suitably dramatic and threatening.
March 24th, 2018  
Wonderful shot.
March 24th, 2018  
Fantastic picture of the storm, so dark and loaded with menace. Fav
March 24th, 2018  
This is beautifully dark. Enjoy your dirty weekend.
March 24th, 2018  
Hope you enjoyed your weekend!! I had to pick someone up from the airport just as this storm hit! I got completely saturated running from car park to terminal, then the plane circled for a bit and got sent back to Auckland!! Was certainly a bit of wild weather.

The figures of people in the distance and the clouds just keep this on the near side of near-abstract. Very nice.
March 26th, 2018  
Fav, I love the drama, and putting the focal point so far to the left too
March 26th, 2018  
@graemestevens We'll overlook it just this once. Just don't mention ball-tampering.
March 27th, 2018  
Super sinister
March 28th, 2018  
@blueberry1222 Excellent ;)
