Calm After The Storm - a photo on Flickriver

Another scene at Abbott Church from 5/15/2020 after the storm had passed.

For this RAW shot, I used a 10-stop ND Filter which allowed for 40 seconds of exposure time to smear the clouds, a 2-stop Hard Stop GND to bring down the brightness of the horizon and the sky so the church would be exposed a little better, and metered the horizon. Quite a bit of post-processing color adjustment in Lightroom due to the 10-stop filter, which made the original exposure very, very blue.

Mother Nature was very kind to me this day. She drives me crazy sometimes (well, most of the time), but on this day, I could not have asked anything more of her.
