Apocalypse

Well I was going through my archives and came across this which was entered into my old camera club monthly competition. I don't actually remember how well it did.

The club actively encouraged manipulated images and I can remember my friend who used to give me a lift was a purist getting almost apoplectic on the drive home if a heavily manipulated image won a competition.

 

He knew I enjoyed manipulating images and we never had a personal fall out over it. He always thought there should be two competitions- one for manipulated images one for such as him who did basic digital darkroom stuff.

I would not have minded that all. However I digress It was the date I noticed on this - March the !8th 2007

I felt a shiver run through me at how this March feels apocalyptic to many people. I hope everyone keeps well and hope for the best for us all. I quickly did an edit of the raw file as i still have it-

At the time I had been taking the City of Nottingham skyline in some superb stormlight. I decided to leg it home as the approaching storm was getting too close for comfort. I was entirely alone and it was very eerie and made my spine tingle and that is why i interpreted the shot the way I did.....way over the top but how it felt at the time
