Great image.
Have you tried this in B&W with the sky darkened to make it more threatening?
Just a thought… :)
Jim Robertson replied
Hi Richard. Yes I have spent a bit of time on a B & W but I’m off to bed now. Thanks for your comment and watch this space as they say. :)

I have NEVER seen a sky like that Jim: luck you! And great job capturing it so beautifully – handheld and all! :)
Jim Robertson replied
Hi Angie. Thank you. We get most of our weather from the west and often get these blow throughs at this time of year and on really ‘till Spring.

Thanks again Mike. I thought I’d lost all chance of capturing an image when the sun went behind cloud and I was almost gone but the front came to the rescue!

Blackgull, that is one heck of a wild sky! What a dramatic capture, the lighthouse so tiny against this massive cloud bank – love the feel of this!
Jim Robertson replied
We have big skies in this part of the world especially so at this time of the year. I’m glad to hear that you like like this and again thanks for commenting on my images. :)

difficult to choose an image of yours to comment on , they are all incredible and almost verging sometimes on the abstract , i love this image , im a big fan of painters like constable and this fits right in , incredible composition , the lighthouse overwhelmed by impending nature , makes us realize how small we are , sort of a last bastion of civilization and beyond that the wild untamed forces lurk , i could carry on for ages with stories that come to my head through this image -wow
Jim Robertson replied
Hi Derek. Great to hear from you and thanks for your great comment. So glad that you’ve found ‘the bubble’.
