Description

This is a shot i took today, about 1 minute before the heavens seriously opened! As soon as we got to this spot i saw the red shirt/red sign/gray sky thing, but i only got one go at it (and so did pud!) before we got pissed on. The flash is terrible i know, but that's what u get for having a cheap, nasty narrow band flash and using it with a fish-eye, it was either that or dark :D Oh, and sorry about the 10 second frame, but it's late and i'm tired, and black didn't quite look right. Hope everyone's happy, and getting more sun than thunderstorms!

What are you talking about? This is an excellent capture "because" of the flash and the dark skies.

Agreed with amorales. Not only the lighting is unusual but also, the various main ligns are very interesting. A great dynamic catch.

No thunderstorms here, thank God, too dry and hot and fire season already. This is superb! Don't degrade your efforts, I think it's a wonderful capture worthy of a cycle mag!

This is an awsome shot, seriously should be in a mag somewhere. The colours and lighting looks pretty sick to me!
