well, my second try didn´t pan out as well as the my first try at all. I figured that shooting a storm is really hard as the wind is quite strong and everything is going on pretty quickly as. Yesterday, it was tremendous strom but everything was pretty high hidden in the clouds. So, I tried shooting some of enlightened clouds but that doesn´t look so good as I was too close and thunder were too strong for my setting. I would need much bigger screen on some connection with my laptop to check out everything that is being shooted. For controling pictures I could use camera´s screen but when I would the camera to check the pictures the storm would just finish its´ masterpiece and disappear. So for next I will go back to my previous setting which ISO 100-200 top 3-5 secs and wide open aperture.
A shot that I had to do whilst on Skye.
This was another very changeable day of weather and by the time I had walked up there the rain was being driven horizontally so I sheltered behind the biggest boulder I could find for half an hour. To get any shots at all I had to wipe the lens, tilt the camera up and click quickly before any rain drops blew onto to the lens. I had no idea till getting home how many shots would be usable and thankfully most were.
Deflated at having plans scuttled to see our first iconic Skye location, we headed back towards Portree. On the way, Sligachan provided an opportunity for some photography of an old stone bridge, the river and the Glen area. Others must have been doing the same as parking was limited but I managed to squeeze in along the road.
