Despite the constant threat of rain on Saturday 5-16-2009, I decided to go out and do some completely random landscape photography in Berks, Lehigh, Schuylkill and Columbia Counties. I hit the Kempton Railroad, Leaser Lake (now almost completely drained while they repair the dam), nine covered bridges in Columbia County, various old barns and St. Ignacius Cemetery in Centralia.
On the way back on Route 61 south, the weather started looking foul and I noticed the clouds forming into something biblical so I found a turn off in the village of St. Claire and parked in a construction zone. I had my camera in the front seat already setup for five bracketed shot HDR and I had my tripod and cable release so I was able to capture these clouds just prior to the sky letting lose with a deluge of rain.
Processed with Photomatix Pro to make a HDR (High Dynamic Range) image from the five bracketed shots taken with the D300.
