Clouds in the morning mean storms in the afternoon

This 8 AM shot foretold of rainy skies by noon, but what a start to the day! You can almost feel the movement in the clouds as they drift across the sky.


Edit: Several people have asked about technique. I didn't do much; just upped the Blacks slider a bit in Adobe Photoshop's Camera RAW editor (original photo was shot in RAW format.)

  3. You can almost see the clouds moving. Hope you're able to get inside, away from the storm.
