Re-Discovered Gem

Took this and a few others back in January, while freezing in a brisk wind and sub zero temperatures. Looked at it and rejected it as being too soft and unsharp.

Well I saw it on my screensaver and decided to have a go at it. I think maybe I was too harsh when I first saw it.

Sunday Storm

Sunday June 6th we had a storm roll in just before sunset, hearing the repeated peals of thunder I hurriedly turned off the computer and unplugged it then grabbed my camera and Sigma 10-20 and ran outside. I almost instantly wished I had a fisheye lens for I was not nearly wide enough to capture the majesty of the clouds. Hopefully these few shots will have to suffice. All handheld with longer ish exposures so they are not incredibly sharp, but boy was it fun to go shoot this storm.
