Brief Moments (Explored)

The weather is always hit or miss when I visit Cornwall in November. Gone are the crowds, so that's a plus and changing weather fronts provide a challenging yet multitude of shooting possibilities.

 

Sunrise really didn't amount to much for the first couple of days, so on this particular morning I set my alarm for silly o'clock and prepared for the climb down in the pouring rain so I could set up and wait for something to happen. It really wasn't looking promising and all I could think about was the sausage sandwich waiting for me back at the apartment...As the rain eased there was a break in the clouds across the horizon and some of the high cloud began to catch some colour. The atmosphere on the scene in front of me was amazing...I could see that on the right of frame another impending weather front looming so I got to work and started shooting.

 

Conditions didn't last for long and before long the scene in front of me had vanished and I was standing in the pouring rain once again, but I was happy I made the effort, pressed the shutter button and experienced something incredibly moody and atmospheric, if only for a brief moment.

 

So here's a shot I captured that I feel best describes what I experienced. I managed to get a few other shots with longer shutter speeds which I'll post at some point.

 

I didn't get to as many locations as I had wanted, due to a nasty gout flare-up, but as the week unfolded I managed to get to a few favourite locations and meet up with some fellow Flickr friends, so more tales to come...

 

Thanks very much for viewing, take care and have a great weekend :-)
