Stormy evening over the boats at Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock
A stormy evening down at Hive Beach and it was only just as the sun was setting that a break in the clouds, and rain, started to develop. I setup the camera and captured this shot using one of my newly acquired lenses.
As part of my medium term plan is to go to full frame, I have just upgraded my lenses and am now the happy owner of the Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D and the 70-200 AF-S VR f2.8G lenses. I used the 17-35mm for this shot, to see how it faired.
The clouds were dispersing even as I took this shot, and soon after they had disappeared completely.
