Red sky at morning
Sailor take warning…
The right ingredients necessary finally came together for this shot. It had been two solid months of weather with flat skies and zero clouds… Finally, the weather forecast was for a chance of rain Saturday and Sunday, I bumped the shoot to Sunday based on the chances for cloud formation were better. I was teaching a cloudscapes landscapes class and we were doing the live on location shooting part of the class. Where I shoot in Corpus Christi the wind and the clouds need to come from the South east over the water towards the shoreline. The Clouds are backlit from the sunrise and this combination by far gives you the most dramatic images. Patience. Planning. And Persistence. Amateur photographers go out every day and shoot. Thinking that whatever they are photographing will come out great. And they shoot with the same compositional arrangement for all of their photos. Horizon line and focal point right in the middle of the frame. You don’t capture a photograph. You make a great photograph. Great images take planning and patience. Not every day is going to be picture perfect. For more of my work
