Rolling On Over Me...

Thank-you Anita for the wonderful comment.

Thank-you blamo, but Mother Nature is responsible for the selective colouring – I just tweaked the contrast and brightness a little in Photoshop. I am pleased that you like this!

Woohoo indeed! It was so nice to see the clouds rolling in and to hear the deep dark rumble of thunder across the desert landscape and to enjoy the smell of rain at last!

Thank-you so much DanaMS for your lovely words. Yes, I enjoyed bringing out the strength and contrast in this scene.

Intense indeed Katagram. Thanks for your comments. Oh yes, the smell of the approaching storm…

Thank-you so much Romo, I am pleased that you like this image.

Thank-you kindly Linda :-)

Indeed, the landscape does always come alive at the slightest hint of rain here in the desert. Thanks for your lovely comments.

Thanks SandraRos. They were indeed most fascinating and awesome clouds.

When we are finished with the rain, I shall send it your way :-)

Thank-you dearly April, for your lovely words.

Thank-you Liliana. It was a most dramatic sky and I just couldn’t resist capturing against the rich red colour of the sand dune behind my house.

Thank-you Antanas :-)

Thanks Philip! Nothing beats those desert colours in a thunderstorm.

Lol. No worries Jared – come on down. But don’t forget about the flies and the constant heat! Cheers mate, thanks for the comments.

Thank-you so much Andy, for your wonderful comment. It was an amazing sight and contrast to capture.

Oh, it may be cooling down where you live… but it is the beginning of yet another wonderfully hot summer here in the desert. Duststorms, thunderstorms, flies and heat… (but somehow it is still magical, all the same). Perhaps it is time for this bloke to find a new home by the ocean somewhere, I think! Thanks, as always Mimi, for the lovely words and comments.

Thank-you so much Jus. And thank-you for your wonderfully rich description of the scene captured. Perfect words. Hmmm. Perhaps one day I will share the secret wonders of ‘omni spotlight’ (ahem, it is not so secret if you use Photoshop at all) – I am definitely addicted to this effect! Glad I could refuel your passion for travelling this beautiful country of ours.

Thank-you so very much RedWriter :-)

Same. Thanks for the support Rebelgirl :-)

Thank-you Amanda, for your wonderful wonderful words of support and encouragement. I love your description of this piece. Beautiful words. Thank-you :-)

Thank-you so much Lucinda. We do indeed have some amazing skies here :-)

No worries mate – I am glad that you found the ‘omni-whatsit-thing’. Make sure that you muck around with the different variables (Intensity, Ambience etc) and the target area size/position too. Omni spotlight is my favourite PS tool. Enjoy :-)

Thank-you :-)

Wow, thank-you Zaldy, for your lovely words :-)

Thank-you Laurette, for your wonderful words. Indeed, there is nothing like a desert storm. Enjoy :-)

Thank-you so very much Robert for your wonderful feedback :-)

G’day Steve, I reckon we must have crossed paths a few times around the place? I will keep an eye out for you mate. You have a fantastic collection of images :-)

Thank-you very much Karen, I appreciate your lovely feedback :-)

Uluru is indeed a wonderful place. I have been lucky enough to live here for quite a few years and have always felt humbled by the natural and cultural beauty of this stunning place. Thanks for your words Karen :-)

Thank-you Karen, I appreciate your encouragement. Cheers :-)

Thank-you Charles :-)
