info |
I
was
coming out from my office when I saw the storm approaching fast.
As I was driving down the hill, the
clouds opened and let that sunray
come into my home's valley below. Slammed
on the breaks, opened the
backpack in the
back seat, took out the camera and shot twice in center
weighted meter
mode. As I went back for the tripod the opening in the
clouds suddenly closed shut and it began to rain heavily, so I could
not
take more. In just two hours the downpour was the equivalent to the
12
previous months' rain. |
