Went for a walk up the hills local to me this afternoon as I knew there would be a chance of some good light after heavy rainfall. However this surpassed my expectation, this striking band of rain was lit up dramatically by the sunlight breaking through the clouds.
In post process, I had to tone the rainshower down if anything by lowering the highlights. I also brought out the foreground a bit more by upping the shadows.
Any comments appreciated.
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)
Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.
I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Amazing shot Ellis! That's called capturing the moment.
Thank you, I just kept hitting the shutter and took as meany as I could.
so would I with that in front of me.
id be popping off shots like it was a sporting event great scene you could do a ton with this in post but I'm sure the real thing was more impressive
I brought out the foreground a bit more, otherwise the rain would be too striking. But yeah, great spectacle.
Have to agree with everyone... Awesome shot! Sometimes the magic comes to you! You just have to be there when it arrives!
Thank you
Absolutely love it!
Thank you!
Amazing light! When something like this happens and you are there to capture it , that 's an amazing feeling!
Wow that's insane. What a sight! Amazing that you had to actually reduce contrast, and its still such striking contrast. Excellent photo.
Incredible photograph!
