Thunderstorms all day today, so I knew there'd be some good shots on the way home from work. I stopped here because it was so pretty, but the sun wasn't out, and I couldn't hang out waiting for it because of another appointment. Figured I had better come back, so took a few shots and went home. Came back 45 minutes later, and still no sun. Disappointed. Then, ta da, out came the sun (for just 5 minutes) and click, click I had my shot. Thank you very much. Sometimes luck has nothing to do with it. Sometimes, everything! Also, I was using my 60mm micro, so it's sharp.

| I remember the sun/no-sun from days (rare!) of thunderstorms in Texas. Very nice scene, and I love the sun look. I need a 60mm lens... that really is awesome detail. |

| You were right about this being a beautiful scene. I like the rolling hills under the heavy cloud cover and the very rural looking homes there. The light really works to bring out the foreground area in this one, and the dark foreboding clouds add a lot of drama and energy to the top half. I wouldn't complain if my images had this much sharpness, this is fine at this size. Maybe blown up you can see edges, but it looks plenty sharp to me. Good capture. Waiting pays off again. |

stunning shot and absolutely worth all that mucking around .. like going home disappointed and not being able to hand around, coming back and nothing, waiting around and then bammmmmm.. i'd have been quite excited!!! knowing the light was a very short lived thing & hoping to get a great shot in the limited time etc etc .. love your composition .. the light is awesome .. we've been having lots of thunderstorms lately and when the it combines with sunlight its just amazing ... so intense ...
the colours in this unedited image are just beautiful right now .. |
