this was taken from Parramatta about 20mins before Dans shot last night so it is looking at the other side... very different, but cool enough to make me pull over for a shot or 2

note I wasn't thinking when I took this and used -2ev to get some detail in the clouds which is why the bottom is a little dark
had i remembered my cokin grad ND filters in my camera bag I would have had a better photo to post

by the way this looks much better on a black background as you can pick out more of the shadow detail

shame about the big truck in the way. otherwise i love the detail and height of the cloud
well taken

Looks like he is driving into doomsday...well captured regardless of the darkness issues :wink:

I actually waited for the truck to come so it would cover up the boring buildings in the background and to give the photo a story
otherwise it would have just been a photo of some cool clouds with a poor foreground (no green golf courses around here)

looking at it again, it does look good with the truck in the way.

it looks like you took it from your car window, did you?

I like the truck. It's more "ominous". I think it helps that it's a fuel truck.

I reckon if it 'went off' it would liquify a bit......

Nice pic, I agree, the truck adds to the image.

Good eye!

Brilliant Cloud,

Don't think driving a petrol tanker into that is a very good idea though :roll:

Reminds me of the Terminator for some reason.

Mic :wink:

Love this shot Keith!! Well done. But where did you find a truck with such a bad exhaust problem?? :lol:

Tells the story you were after really well.

Cheers, Mick

Hey Keith,

I love your shot, so i hope you dont mind, but i re-worked it and tweaked some levels. If you dont like it i will take it straight down

Cheers
