Storm brewing over SE London

Posted by tressillian (London, United Kingdom) on 25 November 2006 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Between the thunderstorms in SE London - galloped up to our roof top (we've got scaffolding up for some building works) and fired off some stormy skies.

am i the first? welcome to the world of photoblogging!
a nice shot - the lower part of the sky is a bit bright, though.

@kurt: Thanks, Kurt. The conditions were amazingly contrasty - I was under dark, dark clouds and the sun was shining through to the south. If I'd thought more about it, I would have used a neutral graduated filter - but I was 3 floors up on scaffolding in a gale! Of, course my filters we're safely tucked-up in the house itself...

When I took the shot I stopped down by 1 stop to get more detail in the sky - and still the sunshine was over exposed. Generally, I try to avoid lots of Photoshopping - but this one I tweaked the levels to bring out some details in the foreground.
