Dark Clouds over Red Rocks

Some serious weather was moving over Red Rocks Park. I grabbed this shot about 20 minutes before we were pelted with heavy rain and large hail. We parked under a tree until the storm moved by!

Really amazing looking clouds - I love watching storms like this as long as it can be done safely.

I missed this yesterday Larry.

I like the look of this B&W, but I also will say my first impression was that it doesn't have enough contrast. So I kind of like the look, but there is the other part of me that likes to have Black in Black and White.

Thanks Alan, good point about safety as about 20 minutes later I was in the middle of a big rain and hail storm. fortunately I was in my car when it hit!

No problem about missing a post fro time to time, I miss a lot and try to catch up all at once.

Back in my Dark room days I use to keep a black strip and a white strip of the photo paper I was using in the fix bath as keys as a reminder to maintain the total range of information in my prints. I will look at this image through my old darkroom prism and see if more contrast improve it! Thanks.
