    Stormy Sky

    A shot from yesterday as a storm blew in. The sky went dark in a matter of 45 min and then after the storm it took about the same length of time to clear. The storm dumped a months worth of rainfall in just over a half an hour. I managed to find a hole in the sky as it blew over and took the shot. I like the dramatic feel of the sky. What do you think?

    C&C welcome good and bad.

    Nice image. Very dramatic. I find putting your copyrght on the photo distracting.

    I thought that about the copyright also... but it is hiding a section of road that was even more distracting... and too hard to crop out or clone out.

    meh, looks only slightly better than 10000 other things by emo kids on Deviant Art. No offense.

    Jay, it looks like you had a real downpour there. Seems too dark, but storm clouds will do that. Interesting capture. I don't know if I like the hole in the clouds or not.

    They do look threatening.
    The problem with sky photos is they can't be big enough unless your in a place with a large panorama.
    This photo has some clouds and some trees...nothing to catch my eye.
    Keep Shooting!

    not all that exciting to tell you the truth... everything's the same tone, dark grey.

    I like it in general, but it seems to be missing something - lightning, something in the foreground, ... Might be good material for a collage shot. Keep it. -GB
