Default Storm approaching lake. ( unprepared)

Here is a shot of what i thought was going to be a nice sunset. As i got to the lake with only minutes of daylight left and my settings ready for a sunset shot, I saw this storm approaching, instead. I took as many as i could before the sun set . I fixed it the best i could under circumstances.


storm on the lake resized

Very dramatic!
Good job. Never run away from a good picture.

Thanks everyone. Hayward, you are right. I wish i snapped a few more and put them together, because you could see about three other patches of rain over the lake coming in on the left and right. If the lightening would have hit, i would have had a real winner!

Fantastic image, prepared or not. You can get a sunset any other time. This one is unique.
