Stunning. Sunshine under heavy clouds always looks spectacular and you've caught it really well.

Re: Dramatic clouds

Thanks for your kind comments all...

Steve - I was watching the thing brewing for 20-30 mins. There were several flashes of lightening and about 15 mins after I took the shot, the heavens opened!

PP wise, I lightened the foreground a little and added some additional 'clarity' to the clouds.

Thanks Paul, I gauge from the duration that your wife was elsewhere at the time. If she's anything like mine, a 2 minutes pause is a lifetime for her, and will simply walk on - anything to do with shopping is a different matter of course!

Re: Dramatic clouds

That is an absolute corker.

Wonderful light against those dark and brooding clouds. A landscapers dream.

Superb capture.

The thing is this guy does it time and time again - have a browse at his Flickr account and you will see what I mean - it's damn annoying

Sure is a dramatic sky with the threat of a powerful storm, but the wonderful light on the ground makes the whole thing rather special.

Great shot of a very angry sky. I hope you had the brolly handy.

Great clouds!
There's only one problem. When I put the 9-18mm on, I always end up taking sky and cloud shots. The lens makes me do it.

Yes, I agree. It's a natural for cloudscapes I think.

You want to try the 7-14 ...there's definitely a skill in using a super wide. At first I found I was merely taking very wide scene shots which are boring. I'm still very much in the learning mode, trying to express depth by including near and distant objects.
