I've been meaning for a while to get a shot of this local Vietnamese bakery, mostly as I like the aging signwriting above the shopfront. As I passed on my way home this afternoon I noticed that the sky colour made a rather nice contrast with the sign so I stopped and grabbed a few shots with my phone. (In raw - DNG - mode).
As I did so the clouds sort of burst... I was on the sheltered pavement, but everything else got rather wet very quickly.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Photo developed/edited in darktable - just contrast and colour tweaks initially, but finally decided to add a 1/2 stop graduated filter to the sky to better recreate my impression of the scene.
