Sunflowers and Thunderstorms

From last night's photoshoot in rural northern Boulder County with =Glitch-Chaos A few words on this shot;

Honest to God above, this was utterly amazing....I can't really find the wards to describe the whole scene to you all but I will try my best.

I had to handhold this, along with the other shots to come, my knee is totally kaput so using a tripod was pretty much out of the question, however that isn't the only reason...as we were shooting last evening, the lightning was all over the place, and well there were times when I wanted to grab it and try, but thought better of it lol Tripods make for great Lightning conductors! lol

The clouds were just insane, and I mean really crazy, this storm went severe dropping reports of funnel clouds to the north east of us and hail as well. It passed over our heads, but sure made for some utterly incredible atmospheric shots!

So you take that, a Sunflower field the size of a small state, the sunset, a country road, and the foothills and mountains as a backdrop, and friends, you have quite a scene you will NEVER forget!

Hope ya all like it!
