it was evening time in November 2013Lighting
i was sitting at Frank's this Saturday evening, taking photos, when the sky became enflamed with the sunset. i took a few from within the Courtyard, when dramatic changes started to happen. the roof was getting in the way. there was a squall of water approaching from the right side. i rushed outside into the street and took up position against the wall and shot from there. Another person ran over the road and used her mobile to shoot with. (image to the bottom right). It was awesome! i watched and forgot my camera, and within 5 mintues the lights from the sky disappeared to a blue grey tone. then the torrents of rain fell.Equipment
