Approaching Storm
I was photographing northern Dragonflies in Glen Affric, Scotland. The weather in this beautiful Glen can change very quickly. The light you see here only lasted about a mintute and then the gloom set in, minutes later I was soaked to the skin.

Canon EOS 1D MK11, 28-70mm Lens, Tripod, F22, Iso Rating 200, No Filters.

Excellent shot, proves the old saying never say I`ll come back later and take the shot, it`s a fickle thing light :-)

Great shot, I especially like the brightly lit reeds in the foreground. Everything about it pushes the right buttons for me.

Thats nice... the brooding storm, the sweep of the trees and the dark mountain adding that final layer....

well worth the soaking Danny...

great light and a pleasing composition.
Give it a touch more than 1 degree clockwise and it'll be straight.

Brings back memories of those stormy skies on mull... and getting soaked through! I really like this. The line of trees gives a great sense of depth and perspective, with the highlighted reeds in the foreground reflecting this line. Love it. Great vision Danny. :toast: :toast:

Very ver nice light. Really like it. If anything I would have just avoided the bit of foliage in the lower right corner.Tristan
Posted by Marko Trebušak on December 12, 2007 at 1:41 AM
As has been mentioned, light is nothing short of perfect and I like combination of pine trees on curved shore and side light reeds. As Tristan has mentioned that bit of foliage in bottom right would better be gone.

Cheers,
Marko
