Storm 1, gerry 0
I don't mind the odd selfie here and there, to mix it up alittle I made this one a pano, this was quickly bashed while scurring over some dunes to the next spot and being chased by some very menacing clouds, which did eventually bring some rain. What made things pretty funky was the sunset glow which was peeking out from below the rain clouds creating a very eerie glow which can be seen in the centre of the frame.
About 7 minutes after this shot it rained 🙁
7 frame (non-bracketed) panorama 🙂
D7000 with Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 @ 20mm- Aperture: f/8 and Shutter Speed: 1/2 seconds
out front – absolutely nothing but fresh air and plenty of sand.
It was a bit out of focus, the focus point was on the foreground very close to the camera (from the last shot) this coupled with the fact the clouds moved very fast meant it all, except for the rock solid model 😉 was a bit soft.
Cheers for the company +Rodney Campbell and +Suren J
Picture…YES…Man…Light…Colors…) + ATMOSPHERE…COMPOSITION…
Battling the force of nature is a big ask. Nice contrasts between land and sky. A very well executed image Gerry.
Thanks +Arne Lepla

+Alistair McNaughton , you will enjoy it, hopefully you have some good conditions, make sure you have some form of sand protection, particularly if its windy – that sand will get into even the smallest opening.
Thanks +Knut Arne Gjertsen
+Rodney Campbell
yeah, but at least it cleared off afterwards..could have been much much worse.
Thankyou for looking and commenting

+Gerard Blacklock Thanks for the advice. Do you just use a plastic bag for your camera in those conditions?
+Alistair McNaughton
I should have used something 🙂 I would recommend one of the cheap rain covers you can buy online, failing that, a modified ziplock bag with some rubber bands 🙂
