Predictably Reflectable
We had some of the most amazing cloud formations imaginable in the skies over Durbanville yesterday afternoon!
There was a huge cold front blowing in from the North... bringing in puffy cloud after puffy cloud... all wonderfully three dimensional... and with air so clear that you could see till infinity. All the signs were there for a spectacular sunset.
There is one farm dam that I drive past quite often on my quest for interesting landscape compositions... that (until yesterday) I haven't shot yet. It's quite far from the road and definitely not trespassable without getting caught. I knew that I needed the farmer's permission for this one.
So yesterday I finally plucked up the courage to brave the huge barking dogs... to knock on their door and ask if I could shoot their dam. Within ten minutes I had the images for this Vertorama on my memory card! Things only got better after that... sudden gusts of icy wind... large drops of icy rain... a flock of sheep ambling past me... and one particular cloud formation that looked so amazing... that I actually stopped shooting just to stand and stare at it for a while.
I'm probably going to be posting at least four or five images from yesterday's shoot... and since this one was the first scene of the day... I thought I'd post it first. :)
Nikon D3100, Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm, aperture of f9, with a 1/80th second exposure.
