Escape while you can

Escape while you can - (c) 2014 Gerard Blacklock

D750 coupled with 16-35mm f4 @ 16mm Aperture: f/9 and Shutter Speed: 30s
ISO 100
out front – Lee Graduated Filter (0.9x) and Hoya CPL

I suffered for this image, i was eaten alive by mosquito’s, I got soaked by the rain waited ages for a couple of cars to go by (no other fool was silly enough to be out in this weather) and missed all the sweet lightning – however knowing my luck it would have belted me if I hung around 😉 and to make things worse, half my shots where outta focus – damn technical issues 🙁

This image was mean to be panoramic image of the scene, but only one of the frames was salvageable, this one. I still like it, its got all the key elements from the session, the warm disappearing sunset from around the hill, the car light trails and the thunderous clouds (excluding my epic lighting bolt right on top of the hill 🙂 )

Exif love:

  1. You're experience sounds strangely familiar LOL! I feel your frustration but you came away with a great image if not what you had originally envisioned!

  2. So, here is my understanding. Peaceful lake, busy street, happy sunset, angry storm clouds with motionless mountain in the middle. Friend, you should not just 'like' it. Love it!

  3. Congratulations! Gerard Blacklock your wonderful photo deserves promotion, please add it to your BTP Photo Gallery.
