Posted by Betsy Barron (Glenmoore, United States) on 7 April 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.
The other night a storm was blowing in (and out) so fast I could barely keep up with the clouds and how quickly the light was changing. So I decided not to and did some long exposures. This image is STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA around 7:30pm. I did not adjust it in PS - the clouds were orange, teeming with rain, with bright blue and stars behind (look closely). Ain't Mother Nature fascinating?
This brings an end to my dark & moody week I think... next post will be sunny!
Thanks for all comments/critiques!

This sky looks like God is ready to strike down someone with a bolt of lightning! Now how did you manage to get the trees so sharp with such a long exposure and high winds? Do you have magical powers with the trees that I'm not aware of? I loved your "dark and moody" series. Great stuff!

I love these 'out of the ordinary' shots. It really is amazing what nature does sometimes.

Very cool! It reminds my of art work in a Soundgarden album.
