Late Afternoon Clouds

A few hours of non-rain yesterday afternoon brought out a number of walkers around the local fields - including me. From a photographic point of view, the fields themselves were fairly boring - monotonous green of winter cereal crop contrasting with mud of well-trodden footpath and frequent puddles. Even the sky wasn't exactly interesting. Then the threatened clouds moved in from the south west. For a while, the interplay between developing clouds and descending sun made for some interest on the horizon. So here it is, the sequence taking about 30 minutes and three quarters of a circuit round the big field. All with K3, the first with DA 16-85mm, others with DA 55-300mm.

Thoughts, comments welcome as usual.

Broody and Moody - nice little selection Steve - love the skies colouration on the last three

4 looks like he should be running for his life!

Thanks.

The colours in the last few surprised me during post-processing. I'd realised when taking them that there was colour in the clouds but the sun shining through light cloud was too bright to see the colour clearly.

The walkers in the last two (same pair of people) were probably thinking the same as me i.e. I hope I get home before those clouds dump their content on me. I live nearby, which was just as well because the sunny period was soon followed by a downpour .

Definitely moody. Absolutely cracking images. Powerful.

No. 4 for me.

Agree totally, lovely set.

Thanks, appreciated .
