"City Sentry"
©David A. Ziser
This was the view of the sky shortly after we began our walk along the River Walk in New Orleans a few weeks ago. A chance of rain was predicted but we never expected to see this kind of storm brewing.
Fortunately, we were able to find cover before the clouds unleashed their torrents of rain. As we sat in the cover of the Natchez Riverboat waiting area, I saw this seagull perched on the large pier timber waiting out the downpour. With the dramatic cloudscape implying impending doom on the city, the title for this image seemed to be a perfect fit.
It was an very unusual cloud formation and a tweak or two in Lightroom helped to add to the very dramatic effect you see. I have to say, it was quite an experience to see this wonderful and dramatic landscape and enjoy the short storm.
Camera specs: Canon 5D Mark III fitted with Tamron 28-300 VC lens at 84mm, F16 @ 1/1000 second, ISO 1600. Enjoy! -David
Nicely done. Don't see much B&W from you - would like to see more.
