Evening Clouds
Evening Clouds, originally uploaded by Liam O’Neill.
We were supposed to have our next 2hr Challenge last weekend, but called it off as the weather was forecast to be pretty horrible for the Sunday. For once the forecast was right. There was some suggestion of doing it on the Saturday instead, but it was decided in the end that it was too short notice. James Hodgson and myself decided to go anyway.
As it happens, while Saturday was generally nicer than Sunday, there was still more than enough heavy rain (and hailstones at one point) around the area of the challenge that it would not have been fun had it gone ahead. Between the rain and the ugly grey clouds, there wasn’t much to photograph. We eventually gave up and headed through the forest back home.
We did spot a nice strong rainbow on our way back, and stopped to take some pictures, that didn’t really work out. I took some pictures of the clouds caught in the sunlight at the same time.
A first look at the few pictures from the day didn’t exactly thrill me, but once I took the time to process the RAW file from this picture, it started to look more interesting. A little crop off the top of the frame and I arrived at this picture.
Funnily enough, the RSC challenge this month is “sky”…
