I've just finished three days of great workshops. I ran a black and white workshop on Friday, and a two day Creating Dramatic Images workshop over the weekend. We spent Saturday morning talking through a variety of topics, but headed out for a shoot in the afternoon. It had been raining for most of the morning, and was really windy, but by the time we went out the rain had stopped. The waves were crashing against the sea wall, the clouds were fantastic, and we all managed to get some great shots.
The best I've seen from the shoot so far was taken by Ian Mylam. I'm sure it will make its way onto his website soon, but in the meanwhile he's posted it on Facebook. As I'm sure you'll agree, it's a great shot :)
As for this one: I probably would have taken it anyway, but couldn't resist the "Libby Love You Too" :)
Oh, and I've also added this one as this week's Mini-PSD.

Nice way to kick off photos from the weekend. I've seen a few on twitter and FB - but I think this is the first one to make it onto a blog :-)
I love the mini message - well spotted :-)

hi david, stunning picture again :) but i have a question: almost every picture with clouds have a very nice contrast in it. do you shoot them with pol-filter system mounted on your lens or just the postpro in photoshop?
i ask this because i just bought a pol-filter an it's very helpful to get more contrast in the sky.
thanks, greetings mike

Thanks Carlos :)
Mike: I do have a polariser, and agree, it can be very useful in bringing out the contrast in the clouds. In this case though I didn't use one as I didn't have it with me. It definitely would have helped though.

I'm new to the photography community. These pictures are very inspiring, but you make it look too easy. Looking forward to learning and viewing more of your photographs.
