Yesterday afternoon I drove out to Everglades National Park to see if I could capture some of the dramatic storm clouds we had moving through the area. Soon after I got into the park, I spotted some great dramatic storm clouds and good foreground subjects to shoot. Unfortunately, I also realized I had left my tripod at home. By the time I went home to get my tripod and made it back to the park, the shot was long gone. I proceeded to drive around and explore some trails I had not been on in some while but the rain kept chasing me back to my truck for shelter.
I tried shooting a lone cypress tree with a storm in the background but was not thrilled with the final product. It was starting to get late so I headed to old faithful Pine Glades Lake for the sunset. I was hoping to get some vibrant skies to contrast with the dark storm clouds. The only problem was a storm moved through just in time to completely block the sunset. I still was able to get some interesting reflections of the storm clouds across the smooth lake but never got the color I was looking for.
