This topic made me realised that I’m a wuss. I don’t have stormy photos, apparently I always hurry inside when I see dark clouds on the horizon or at least I pack away my camera (the poor thing is still suffering from the unexpected spray at last year’s mediterranean choppy boat ride). So only one shot today.

Your one shot is great! I love the clouds and the shadows on the field. Thanks for participating in the challenge.

One shot is enough, and I really do not think that you are a wuss, Elke!

Quite dramatic Elke. A touch of vignette?

Kind of. It’s a in-camera setting called “toy effect” (no idea why).

I have that setting too and also wonder why it’s called Toy?

I found this: “The ToyCamera Method makes the image look as if it was taken by a toy camera. It imitates the distortions caused by cheap lens and poor shooting conditions. Such distortions, however, sometimes make the image look more attractive and lively.” There is a more extensive explanation about “vignetting” and “blurred edges”. However, I don’t see the “cheap” effect, and I find it very effective with clouds for example.

I’m like you Elke. But this storm brewing is quite enough to join the Storm Club.

I usually run up to my rooftop whenever there’s a chance of rain or storm, despite the fact that my smartphone isn’t waterproof

Just make sure that there is a lightning rod higher than you on that roof.
