The weather and landscape together produced something special. As I was passing Bamford Edge I stopped to look at the breaks in the cloud. The forecast said light rain turning to heavy rain. And after already getting rained on and falling in a river, I almost headed home.
I'm glad I didn't though. The light was spectacular and I was lucky to capture the cumulonimbus clouds.
I was hampered by my tripod leg falling apart (I carry tools to fix it), moisture in the EVF (which happened last year), and condensation under my UV filter (trapped when I swapped back from a polariser). Lucky I spotted that one before I finished shooting.
