Good Morning, Southwold
Same place as the previous post, seen the next morning, with equally dramatic skies 🙂

A Storm At Southwold That Never Came
We just got back from a short car-trip to East England. Although I was hoping for sunshine, the weather was temperamental throughout, with heavy rain one moment, and bright sunshine the next. The forecast was for thunderstorms when we arrived at Southwold Pier. Dark clouds loomed over the skies when we arrived, but the storms predicted didn’t come fortunately. Instead, I was given the opportunity to squeeze off a few shots with dramatic lighting. CY initially thought that I photoshopped in the skies on this one, but they were dramatic enough even before I post-processed the final shot that you see above (see the orginal, unprocessed shot for comparison).
The Skies Are Dancing Over Stonehenge
We spent a day at Stonehenge and Bath over the weekend… I knew not to expect much in terms of photography at Stonehenge since we wouldn’t have arrived at Stonehenge till late morning (by which the sun would have been too high to provide the dramatic light I prefer for landscape photos). Nevertheless, the skies put up an interesting cloud pattern over the ancient stone circle just for a short moment. All I needed then was to take the picture and then post-process it in Lightroom for that extra oomph that I was missing out on due to the flatter lighting of the day.
