Storm Brewing

Storm Brewing

I took this photograph just because of the sensational clouds seemingly coming from the small town of Wells in Norfolk. It was an opportunity not to be missed, especially as I had a tripod with me. I walked down onto the mud flat and positioned the camera as close to the water as I could without sinking my equipment into the mucky stuff. I then took several exposures bracketing on a few. As it turned out the first shot was the one that worked best and here it is.

Tech stuff, exposure was 1/10th sec at f8.0 / ISO 200, lens set to 27mm (in 35mm equivalent) and centre weighted metering used. I have slightly cropped the image and applied a ND grad to the sky in Photoshop CS4 to enhance the highlights of the clouds a little.
