I was driving along with sunshine at my back and an inky sky coming towards me when I saw this white house flashing in the distance. I stopped the car and walked up the driveway. Taken without any filters or jiggery pokery except to clone out my shadow on the lawn.

The light catches the fence posts and stones, as well as the house. I have often noticed how an inky, menacing sky can produce such vivid light.
Thanks for the illegal alien gnomes story by the way.

Another new toy and difficult light to handle, seems to be very good at this size. Big contrast range to handle without filters, but where would you put a filter anyway? Lovely image and it works well.
I'm going to be looking carefully at the the nex 7 as soon as I can. The weight of the big Canon gear is getting to me these days.

Light is awesome Rende and the composition first class, that is some camera, I am now like Dougie! Finding that taking all my gear is too much, so also looking for alternatives.

Amazing how the buildings and white stones glow 
Well spotted and composed shot Rende

That's the kind of light famous from the mouth of the Rhine northwards along the coast at least as far as the Danish border - can it all be classified as Frisian, I wonder? Beautifully handled, totally spot-on.

Quote: What wonderful storm light. That sort of event doesn't come together very often. Glad you stopped.
awesome picture, one that would look good on your wall
Stunning comp and the lighting brings out some super colours. There was a photographer in the Hampshire/Dorset area who took all his pics in sunshine on stormy days like this; I guess he didn't get out much. He had them all printed on Cibachrome, which seems a lifetime away now.
