Before the storm Photo

Photographer’s Note

The next photo in my on the road series from out current trip, this time from Boppard on the Rhine River. Were stayed in Boppard for a few days last week and didn't do too well with the weather. On the evening of this photo we'd gone for a walk after dinner and luckily I had my camera with me. A storm started rolling in creating the incdedibly dark sky behind the still bright building along the water front so I snapped it just before the rain hit and hightailed it back to our hotel a few metres away.
The photo has not had proper editing.

Hi Ian,
Wow, that is a black sky, no place to be without an umbrella at the ready.
The building looks superb, I've always liked lit foregrounds against a threatening sky and this one is just that.
Excellent quality too, a very sharp image, good POV and nicely composed.
You've been away a long time, lucky bast**d.
Regards
Peter
