Crazy storms and late day light make for some incredible colours. These coloured skies are rare and I am usually not able to photograph them when they happen. This time I was lucky. Not only was I chasing the storm and I was blessed with incredible light and calm conditions.
This image is straight out of the camera. As in no processing. Just ACR\'s default settings and a tiny bit of cropping. More like shaving a sliver or two off the edges and two tiny specks in the water were cloned out. I know the hottest trend today is to spend 80-100 hours processing an image from something to something beyond reality. I\'ve done it, don\'t like it and I really want to spend as little time processing an image as possible. I\'ll still process images but it\'s nice to say; \"here, this is right out of the camera. No processing!\" Not sure if I will even bother processing this one as I like how it turned out. This kind of light is real and if you\'re lucky and chase it, you might find it. Or you can always fake it in post too! I prefer to just polish what mother nature gives me even if I lean a little hard from time to time.
Enjoy!
