Stormy Weather Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes weather changes happen rather quickly in my part of the world!

Like here, a day starting with blue skies and nice sunshine…

Suddenly the threatening dark clouds started to pile up, drifting in from the North Atlantic!

Where I stand shooting this there still is sunshine, but that will change in only a few minutes.

Next the summer rain is pouring down…

This image is dedicated to those of my friends here, who always find the sky in my pictures so incredibly blue..!

Serwus Pablo !
Awesome sky, so very springtime. Superb light. And excellent proportions to emphasize the atmoshpere of stormbringer. Good choice for the landscape with off centered buildings.
Best wishes,
Mat

Floydian (30970) 2006-06-06 5:17

Hi Pablo,
Great landscpae, and just on time to catch it.
The red house is doing all the work here. It stands in great contrast with the dark sky, i really like that..!!!

Bonjour Pablo
Le ciel est peut-être menaçant mais celà donne une bonne photo. La petite maison rouge attire le regard et égaie le paysage.
Merci pour le partage.
Amitiés

jemaflor (39381) 2006-06-06 5:57

Hi Pablo,
Interesting and beautiful. This cloudy sky gives a good effect, well contrasted between these differents colours, red, green and grey. Well framed.

Graal (57941) 2006-06-06 6:07

johnnyh (637) 2006-06-06 6:11

Hi Pablo, I like the POV and also the tones between the ground and the dark sky, well captured regards John.

Xalkida (11740) 2006-06-06 6:56

Hi Pablo

Oh I love this kind of photo and landscape: some moments before the great storm pass, the quiet before the noise of the rain. Excellent colors, very well composed with great framing. The sky is superb!

cam (8880) 2006-06-06 7:11

Hello Pablo
Very dramatic sky with ominous design.
I find the colors enhanced by this situation,with a good dynamism(run and hide this camera,but not before clicking).
Good composition that gives a good place to the sky,and a nice touch of color with the red house in the corner,
I like it

daddo (11363) 2006-06-06 7:53

Greetings Pablo. Dramatic because of the vivid contrast between the darkening sky and the brightly lit foreground. Nicely composed with the smooth green of the nearby hill and the loud red of the distant house. Wonderful mood with prominence given to the rolling clouds. Regards, Klaudio

macondo (13111) 2006-06-06 8:34

There certainly are a lot of red roofs in your part of the world, Pablo.
This one is full of drama and light, and you have positioned the house in just the right place in the frame. The field in front with its very sparse covering of grass, adds interest and contrast to this beautifully composed/cropped photo.
Regards,
Andrew

AiresSantos (42120) 2006-06-06 9:55

Lovely composition with fantastic colors, Pablo.
I like the frame and the red house here. Superb light and sky colors.
Best wishes my friend, Aires

plimrn (19656) 2006-06-06 10:46

Hi Pablo,
I really like the way you've framed this compo with the curves of the field leading to the farmhouse with its cheerful red roof and the gently rolling green hills agaist the threatening sky. I can almost feel the coming downpour...Pat

Hei Pablo,

Very nice image, the clouds make the image very dynamic. As if a storm is coming. I like the composition is very nice, with the barn as an obvious point of interest. In short a very nice and dynamic photo. TFS.

markstaples (15670) 2006-06-06 13:56

Hi Pablo
The sky makes this a winner. I'm very impressed with the tones the D50 gives to such skies. The sky creates great depth. The hill and the house from such a distance add to this effect. I really like this compo. Well done.
Best wishes

Excellent atmosphere. The dark clouds are lovely. Have you thought this picture in B&W?

Rgs, Oscar

pranab (5354) 2006-06-07 1:49

pablo,
you don't have to have a blue sky because you have some incredible clouds here. great composition where the sky and teh cloud dominates teh frame. good color and the bend at the bottom of the hill adds to the composition very well.

MLINES (10884) 2006-06-07 2:51

Hi Pablo, Good scenery here, we are getting a very good insight into your countries farming practices through the series of photos we are fortunate to see each day. Well portrayed. Murray.

kclai (2267) 2006-06-07 3:32

Hi Pablo
A simple shot of nature. But is nicely presented. The thundering weather from the distance, reaching to the open field. It's nice to have this red roofed house by the corner of the picture.
Cheers and good day, Pablo.
Eric Lai

Angshu (33645) 2006-06-07 3:32

Hi Pablo
the stormy weather has brought in marvellous contrasts here. I think your perspective here is quite excellent with the red roof on the left & the small green hillock on the right. Good work!
Regards
Angshu

riclopes (33001) 2006-06-07 5:13

Hi Pablo,

Well, I really like stormy sky, and this one has all I like: beautiful menacing clouds, warm light on the scenery, interesting landscape, a touch of color that enhance the composition... Well done!

jrj (34779) 2006-06-07 15:57

Hi Pablo
Excellent work and a top contribution in the series of changing weathers..
The 'carper' format with just the small stripe of land leaving the huge place for the mighty clouds is just as it must be for those compos. Very good..

peco85 (919) 2006-06-07 19:30

Greatings Pablo!

I know exactly what you meen! Just out of nowhere the clouds adds up and take herritage of the sky - leaving the sun out. Just take a look at my Winter-photo and the note:)

This is a very powerful image with the barn standing out good against the green fields and the dark and scary sky! Very good motioneffect in the clouds!

Hei Papolo
I can see that spring has arrived in Norway although the foreground looks frosty. I like the contrast between the green grass and trees against the dark sky. The red building is well placed and adds depth and colour.

Bonjour Pablo
A threatening sky is much more inspiring to me because of the many shades of grey and beautiful shapes!
A gorgeous pastoral scene with a touch of red, as a gift!
I should learn to use more often a wide angle cropping.
Cheers.

The sky is great! you have captured it from a very good angle. The red colour of the house in the backdrop of the stormy clouds creates a dramatic feeling. Very well done.

Hi Pablo,
You have so many beautiful landscape photos in your gallery making it pretty hard to choose just one :)
I like this simple composition with the lonely farm and threatening clouds above. However there is still plenty of light in the foreground so you really captured a right moment.
Vedrana

pady (4800) 2006-10-03 15:42

Hi Pablo,
This incredible sky make me think abou t my country when sometimes weather changes quite rapidly, but probably not so quickly than in Norway.
Very nice composition and good place for the red house.
Greetings

inuit66 (659) 2007-01-23 16:17

Hi Pablo. Great! Colors, light, contrast - very good in this one. The dark of the clouds is beautiful and the red barn is a fine eyecatcher. Lovely composition and a nice and simple frame. Good work. TFS. Regards Jens

batalay (20940) 2007-02-03 14:44

Hello Pablo,

In bandying points with you, it is no moral obligation, but a labor of love. It is akin to visiting a fine gallery, and spending time studying one piece after another. This country scene from last summer highlights the "big sky." You've place the building, trees and hills near the bottom of the frame, allowing a great deal of space for the clouds. The deep red/cardinal color of the building serves as a counterpoint to the grays and blue-grays of the threatening sky.

Well done,
Bulent

gunbud (27879) 2007-02-18 19:44

Hi Pablo,
Lush green hillside seen in brilliant light. Very threatening sky but still a little blue is getting through. This summer rain will keep the grass such a pretty green.
Regards, Tom

bebep (2087) 2007-02-26 4:38

Muy buena luz, colores y perspectiva.

emjleclercq (14292) 2007-11-17 13:15

The red paint of the houses always bring a nice touch of color in these pictures of rural Norway, nicely combined here with the green of the hill. This moderates a lot the gloomy atmosphere brought by this very dark sky.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hendrika (655) 2007-11-29 1:37

Yes Pablo, That was what we remember, the quick change of the weather - really amazing.
