January 28, 2017; Sonoma County, California. Heading home after a weekend on the coast. As I drove, I watched this squall develop over a period of thirty minutes but there was no place safe to pull off the road for an unobstructed view. Thought I was going to lose it for sure. Finally a safe turnout. And there she was, climbing out of the water, into the cloud.

(Nikon D750, Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR zoom. RAW processing in DxO Pro, Editing in Adobe Photoshop.

    I visited, remained, and then…three layers came into view. In a few moments my eyes were invited to revisit the center layer…I found myself gently moving into the clouds. Thank you.

    This i s one of my favorites, Michael. Just a little bit of action… 😉 Seriously, there’s something very appealing about the push-pull between photographing a very dramatic sky and then processing the result in a very subtle way.
