The Storm Ahead
I took this shot from the Windsor turf farms today while following a storm which hit about 5 minutes later.. It is an HDR shot and I think HDR was the right choice as it shows details in both the sky and landscape..
I have always wanted to try and get a storm shot while down at the turf farms because the scene just looks so typically australian to me..
I decided to include the gate to break up the scene a bit and add something more to view than just turf and the sky..
Anyway as usual all comments and/or thoughts are welcome..
Thanks for having a look!

Do you use a special lens for these colors or PS? I love the way your shots look! They look almost… fairy-tale like?
Jeremy Harrington in reply to SkyFox’s comment, 7 months ago
Nah no special lens, just the kit lens for this with no filters.. there was a great light from this shot because of the storm, and by doing it as an HDR and tone mapping the shot you bring out all the light that is usually not seen so that makes it a much more detailed shot and makes it look fairy-tale like..
Thanks a lot for the comment Sky
Martin Derksema, 7 months ago
I love the different layers in this image; the fence, the land, the hills, the sky. Also there is a beautiful clarity in this image. The mood of a storm coming up is very well depicted.
