Unsure about the twigs...

That was one cracking storm. It has been a beautiful day here, until an hour ago. The storm came and went, with thunder and lighting, but I was home by then. Now the air is beautifully fresh. We needed it! My, how the birds can sing!

Excellent Rob, the light is dramatic which has brought out and defined the white objects well. Nice greens and unsure about the twigs. They don't really bother me , maybe more twigs would possibly have worked better. Certainly a good image though.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. Yes, more twigs or none at all. Cheers.

 

[Douglas McMann]

Threatening stuff....funny how a dark sky always makes white objects look really bright...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Dougie. It seems to electrify the whites. Love it!

Beautiful image, could also be titled "Bad light stiopped play".

I saw Scotland v Australia at this ground last year. Whitewash.

That's something you can do in the Sigma Photo Pro raw editor. Useful sometimes.

I love it, and it's almost black and white in colour, if you see what I mean. ( I wonder about that ) A good thing you made it home or we wouldn't have seen this I guess. Isn't it lightning Rob and not lighting? I have to ask, you know, being a norseman.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, it is lightning, Ivar. So, we have a stupid Norseman correcting an even more stupid Scotsman.

I wonder if it's going to be this time only? By the way, do you know anything about archery and if it's easy to get ones hand on such items as bow and arrow in Edinburg? Just wondering.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I've no idea...never done it. But that looks like an archery club...and local too.

 

[Beth Anthony]

and i thought that was your standard scottish blue sky.. hope you survived.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha, it alternates with completely grey.

Either that or Scottish precision bowling!

Stunning light and I love the sense of desolation. I agree about the twigs - more or none.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Desolation? Not sure about that. I thought it was a lively day
