I Hear Thunder....

[Douglas McMann]

Working in the garden when these clouds threatened...

Had to stick on the cheapo kit zoom lens to get the wideness I needed...

Note to self...look for a decent wide prime...

Wonderful, looks frightening!

And a SWA is an excellent choice for such scenery, so yes, probably you have to look for a 10-20mm....

i take from the fact that you posted the photo that you survived the apocalyptic storm? or was this posted by your next of kin? love the dark tones in this one, well suited for the sky.

Yipes! That's just scary. Nice shooting...on the run.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks fine to me, Dougie. Some of those kit lenses are not so bad.

 

[Pete Askew]

Full of drama. Great tones too.

It definitely has it's limitations Rob...it sits at home, never in my bag, so I was quite lucky...I've missed out a couple of times on Fleabay trying for a 20mm f4 Zeiss prime, and they're becoming very expensive now...

Now that's my kind of sky

Strong and excellent image Douglas. Looked at a bigger size on your flickr to fill the screen, magnificent is all i can say.

Love your title Douglas.
Very strong image laden with gloom; can't beat the bad weather, the photographers best friend.
