Agnes
Another Lighthouse, but the exact opposite side of the Country to the last image....
A trip to shoot Storm Agnes as she rolled into the UK, we headed up to Whitehaven arriving about an hour before sunset, the weather had suggested very strong winds and rain and with that the possibility of some big waves over the harbour walls here.
As it transpired the waves just did not materialise at all but the sky was absolutely epic with thick black cloud rolling through the area just in front of what appreared to be blue skies and wispy sirrus clouds behind it, I'd never experienced a sky quite like that before.
The rain was quite relentless but the forecast suggested a break in it right around sunset so I just set up and covered the camera over to wait for a clear opportunity, thankfully we managed several shots while we were getting a good soaking.
I've not posted this image before, this was one of the first shots I took that evening before the blackness truly rolled in but you can see it creeping in from the right, the high winds meant that I really didn't need a crazy shutter speed to scatter the clouds across the sky and the lower speed also allowed for more detail in the slower moving dark areas. I liked the contrast in this image of the 2 sides of the sky with some nice calming colour on the left and a sense of what was to take over from it on the right.
