    Great movement in that sky and perfect for B&W. What time of the day was this shot?

  • Simone Byrne replied 19 days ago

    Thanks Steve, this was taken around mid to late afternoon. It wasn’t an overly bright day as there was plenty of cloud diffusing the sunlight. I find days like that best for using the black glass, particularly when you are after sky drama, cause the clouds tend to move better and with a bit of blue sky between and a polarizer, you can really make them dramatic and other worldly. Clouds tend to shift faster on overcast days too, so you get nice long streaks.
