Tranquil Wrath
First storm to hit the area in over 6 months, I was so excited!! Straight to my chosen spot and took hundreds of shots, just waiting for that moment. The sky was so extreme, there was no wind, no rain, just the crazy clouds, and lightning! The rain of course was close, but I managed to get this before it started to pour :)
Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland. the boat is the same subject in River Living and I was very thankful it was still for this to work.
Canon 50D, 10mm, 16:9 crop. Available large, and best viewed large! :)
