Sun Storm

Sun Storm was shot at the same location and on the same shoot as Storm Passing Crescent. The light was sensational. The passing storm had been replaced by bright sunshine as the foreboding clouds hung offshore and contemplated where to dump next.

On reflection, I could have gone up to f8 and sped up the shot, and perhaps should have. Lesson learnt by the end of the 6 day shoot.

Beautiful; I know you’re second-guessing the shot but I love how the water looks like a misty cauldron that leads the eye up to the bright white cloud. Nice work.
