 Taken after a run at the beach. I sat there watching these types of clouds roll, which is typical these days. Lots of nasty weather, but it makes for good pictures at least.

I actually bracketed this @ +2, 0, -2 but there was way too much noise. This is the +2 version with heavy noise reduction applied.

Man, I wish we had beaches. :( All we have are mountains and waterfalls and creeks :( You did a fantastic job with this, both shooting and PP. It really draws me in.

Excellent BW, Ken. The lighthouse is super crisp in the background. Love the directional feel of this photo.

the heavens seem so close in this, almost smotheringly so, I love the way the lens does that

You never cease to amaze me with your views of that pier! I love 10mm for sky shots (mostly all I get here) and this image certainly delivers!!!

A good, dramatic photo; and the 10mm on those clouds gives a sense of being at the center of a vortex. I think the b&w works really well here.

I love wide angle shots but I can't seem to find anything around here. I need to go to Iceland, the coast, or some mountains. LOL Really lovely.
