Not The Nicest Day.....

....to be out on the water, but the sun did peak out briefly.

Just a couple of cottages on the lake with the menacing skies looming. (not a fun ride at all).

Sure makes for a dramatic and impacting shot though! :)

MA said what I was thinking. That first shot is a beauty.

[Hillbillygirl]

Thanks MA, and QO. Just a couple snaps from a moving boat, which is fun. The lighting was so strange in that just a small hole in the sky only lit up little pieces of land, while everything else was so black.

That is some pretty funky light. Lovely colour in the trees

Love the light in shot 1

Both are nice Hbg but the dark sky in that first one makes my choice easy....#1

Everyone said what I was going to say :) I love these days as they provide such a stark contrast.....

I just love that brightly lit foreground against the dark clouds. I always feel annoyed when I see it but I'm not in a position to photograph it. The light is super awesome.

It may not have been the nicest day, but sure made a nice image. Especially that first one.

Sure like the mood in no. 1 shot.
