Banana Split

[Chris Calohan]

I raced home from my show opening at the Light Room and saw this sky forming pretty close to dark thirty. There is little to no PP on this image other than straightening the horizon line as I had no time to set up a tripod or make any significant exposure calculations, instead using a concrete block and the self timer. This is one of those times where experience rears its pretty little head and gives you a sweet kiss on the cheek.

For those of you who have been following my post Hurricane Michael plight, I am moving inside my house on the 10th, exactly 10 months after the storm. The outside of the house is still a work in progress. It is estimated that 90% of all the residents here are still a year to two years before being move in ready.

Chris,

My good friend, folk might forget that the man who is passionate at what nature paints in the sky, still has had to suffer for its terrible shaking of the ground which shattered and destroyed his home in Hurricane Michael:

Such is the artist who treasures the bounties of nature, such a cruel heartless lover!

Chris,

Kudos!

Below, is one of the finest introductions to an amazing shot, where gut feeling and experience means everything:

I will now always remember how everything you learned fell in place because to looked up at the sky and raced home and found a brick to rest on and the self timer to get a long enough exposure and f16 to go from here to eternity!

How soon will your neighborhood return to “normal”? Are the folk more talkative and friendly? After a disaster barriers tend to fall away but with return of normality we forget to greet each other!
