Photo And Painting Art Of Dramatic Stormy Weather
Most people, including myself, tend to try to make images with the most pleasant of light. Golden hour, dawn, little puffy clouds in blue sky, etc. But, sometimes the drama of a storm can make yet another lovely landscape take on a whole new dimension.
Recently, I was motorcycle camping in the Badlands National Park, and had explored as much of the park as I could in one day. It was a nice sunny day and I got several keepers out of it. The next day, a massive storm was rolling through and I had to skeedaddle. I could have taking a quick highway out, but I backtracked and had hail, lightning, violent wind, rain, etc. nipping at my back as I tried to get out of the park before the worst hit.
Also, ended up riding through a wicked Nebraska storm and missed the tiny window I had to get to shelter, because I saw this amazing old car in front of a farm house that just begged to be captured. Was it worth it? Still asking myself that question.
