最近めっちゃ忙しい、新しいアドベライトロームのプラグインの開発で。それ一寸割り込んで、一枚アプをさせていただきます。
I've had my head buried in yet another new plugin for Adobe Lightroom (soon to join my 30ish other Lightroom plugins), but thought I should come up for air to post at least something. Took this quick shot the other day of a cloud pregnant with rain, with a nice silver lining from the late-afternoon sun behind it.
I'm not all that happy with the picture, and it's really better as part of a sequence telling a little story, but I don't have enough energy for that now, so I'll save that for another day.

Goodness me! My word what a whopper – I quite see what you mean about it waiting to dump its contents…
Still I think it’s a lovely shot – you are always a bit self critical – did you shop it about? It has got that “hand of God” feeling to it with the Almightly about to emerge any minute to bless (or blast) us…
So what’s not to like from your perspective?
Interested to hear.

I dunno… I’ve seen so many similar shots that are so much better… this one is 95% of the way there, but it’s that last 5% that really makes it special. As it stands, I wouldn’t put this into a list of my better shots, but I like it for its story (which I’ve yet to post… I have a sequence of it turning into rain). —Jeffrey
So beautiful
