Default Look! Up in the sky...

We actually have some storm cloouds here! Doubt we'll get any rain out of them, but I'm itching to get out of work, grab the camera and try to get a few snaps before they go away. Most interesting sky I've seen here in MONTHS.

I can relate! We've had the most amazing clouds/sun rises/sunsets this summer than in any other summer previously. Normally so Cali has nothing but hazy blue boring skies all summer. And that's exactly what we're getting this week...back to normal, triple digit temps & smoggy skies. Blah. Not much to shoot out there sky wise.

Have fun shooting! I know I have!

I'm just sad the hurricane isn't coming closer. Always fun stuff going on. Funny though... Never seems to be any lightning during them, just lots of wind and rain. I chased an almost tornado during our last tropical storm. It was moving too fast and never seemed to quite stay down and I lost it.

OMG! I know! Well sort of,......we had storm clouds here last night and I was just praying for rain. We're like. Rain?,........oh wait,... RAIN! Yeah! I remember what that is! It's the water that falls from the sky, right?

*@$%&@(! By the time I got to a location, all had pretty much fallen apart and notthing interesting worth shooting. So I decided to get some tree shots for the assignment. I downloaded and started the post only to find all the shots a tad soft. I then decided my cheap a$$ UV filter must be to blame. There is no way I could be OOF/soft on all the shots. On the plus side, they were all well exposed.
