Storm Closing In

Went out onto the back deck to BBQ some chicken a few months ago and saw this coming my way. Originally it was a reasonable distance away ... took me a small time to realize just how fast it was closing in ... So it was drop the chook, grab the camera and start shooting.

I had no time to setup anything just try and rest the side of the camera on a post and hope for the best with the very dark conditions. It was actually about 3.30pm or so, but once covered by this it was black as night.

I was probably handed a very unique situation here and if I was a better photographer would have most likely had a set of photo's very worthy ... but this is my set and I have stretched levels in photoshop as much as I dare to arrive at these ... So I lament their quality but still marvel at the spectacle, and will not forget quickly the storm that came with it.

One of the shots revealed a star or planet that you couldn't see with the naked eye ... this is an apt forum to show it off I think.

Thanks for looking

Jeff
