photoblog image Storm Clouds

Storm Clouds

Last Friday it was stormy weather. Especially at the cost where it was very hard to walk.

The real reason I took this picture is this weeks VFXY theme Storm Clouds. In Belgium clouds normally don't look spectacular when it's very windy but after many trials I got something which might be worthwhile to show.

TECH-INFO: I took one RAW image, exposed to the right to record as much as possible data. Because of the lack of contrast I processed it using Photomatrix and DxO Optics Pro to enhance details and contrasts. The visual result is a much more dramatic just like the real feeling I had while trying to walk near the beach.

UPDATE: also posted on Vazaar for the topic Clouds.
