Landscape Pictures
This was taken at Coniston Water at the Lake District in Cumbria just over the weekend. The scene reminded me of an even more dramatic skyscape which I took in New Zealand a few years ago. CY has commented that my photography of late has revolved around dramatic skyscapes… maybe the skies in the UK are just a little bit more interesting compared to what we have back home! 😛
Same place as the previous post, seen the next morning, with equally dramatic skies 🙂
We just got back from a short car-trip to East England. Although I was hoping for sunshine, the weather was temperamental throughout, with heavy rain one moment, and bright sunshine the next. The forecast was for thunderstorms when we arrived at Southwold Pier. Dark clouds loomed over the skies when we arrived, but the storms predicted didn’t come fortunately. Instead, I was given the opportunity to squeeze off a few shots with dramatic lighting. CY initially thought that I photoshopped in the skies on this one, but they were dramatic enough even before I post-processed the final shot that you see above (see the orginal, unprocessed shot for comparison).
