From a few weeks ago and just as the lockdown restrictions eased a little here in Scotland.
The weather was amazing, bright harsh sunshine, followed by deep troughs of heavy quickly moving dense clouds and hail storms, that kept repeating like waves moving rapidly across the sky around every 30 minute or so. So the trick I soon realised after missing the first trough, was to be ready and setup in the dark heavy hail part of the storm and to then start shooting, just as the current deep trough passed through and the skies began to open up to flood the foreground with side light, yet with the background still under the dark brooding hail storm clouds.
This went on repeating in regular intervals for over 3 hours and was absolutely spectacular in every direction I looked, as I started to run around (well as fast as my old legs would take me) with my tripod and camera having what I can only describe as a 'full on photo frenzy'. My nerves were tingling and humming by the time it finally came to an end.
What a day
