Between a rock and a rainshower

[ChrisGilbert]

Rewards for persistence yesterday evening. With the poor weather it would have been tempting to stay at home but the satellite images suggested it was worth a punt and the reward was a pretty good set. It'll take a while to go through them....

 

[Buttkicker]

Nice moody image... looks like a heavy downpour is coming your way

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Sliding past to the north, Chris. I avoided (another) drenching

 

[TinaC]

I like this a lot A good view and thank you for getting wet for us

 

[ChrisGilbert]

All part of the game, Tina If you're out on the hill and there's no other photogaphers around then you know you're doing something right

Cheers

 

[Lorica]

beautiful shot, love the little peaks of light youve caught

 

[Kevin O'Brian]

Liking it alot, loads going on in there and well worth the punt with the weather forecast

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Cheers Sarah and Kev. Yep, the Met Office are very good at short range forecasting !

 

[ChrisGilbert]

One from slightly earlier in the evening when the light was so much stronger...

I must admit I was about to go home when the rainshower turned up because I thought the light had gone but I'm glad I hung around.

 

[Tannachy]

Amazing clouds bud and a nice composition.

 

[Delta Skies]

Nice couple of shots with a slight preference for #2

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Thanks Chris and Pete. #2 has much better contrast. Oh, to have had that light when the rain shower went over about 20 minutes later !

A Wonderful pair Chris, Both would look great adorning a wall, but for me number 2 just has the edge for the extra light and the slightly altered angle

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Thanks Andrew. I'm working on another version of #1 from a slightly more favourable angle that I might post. These will go at least A2 so they'll need a big wall

 

[Kalibr8]

Personally i like the composition more in the first - but both lovely shots!

 

[fido18]

Both very nice but 2 is my favourite

 

[Daran]

Excellent images Chris, liking no2 the most but both v.good

 

[YosemitePaul]

No 1 for me, I like the distraction of the distant rain.

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Cheers folks

 

[AJQS]

Both are excellent images, what else can you say?!

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Thanks Alan,

An alternate comp to the first one. A bit more life in this one ....

 

[mattmatt001]

[ChrisGilbert]

Cheers Matt. Nought but 0.9 Hard Grad.

 

[roge21]

[Smithy11]

no 2 for me, makes you feel like an old house where you have to duck your head or hit the ceiling. very nice

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Cheers folks.

Interesting point, Smiffy. That low-ceilng feeling. Hmmmm, I'll have a think about that idea ....
