Topsail Storms: Soft Rays
Topsail never disappoints with the eye candy. The light rays mixed with the soft looking clouds was tough to pass up!
Topsail Storms: Rays Panorama
This is from the same day as the last shot. The starkness of black and white really make this image.
Topsail Storms: After the Storm
The sky was perfect for a black and white shot after a storm. I love the sky against the water in this shot.
Topsail Storms: Clouds Like Fire
As I looked up as the storm began to pass overhead I was astounded by the wicked look and texture of the clouds. When I turned it black and white it almost took on the look of fire.
Topsail Storms: Rain on Waves
Here is a panorama as the storm progressed up the coast to begin to encompassed us as well. I really liked how the rain coming down started to give the waves a softer look.
Topsail Storms: Rays and Rain

Topsail Storms: The Wicked Shelf
While at Topsail we had a couple storms come through and over the coming weeks I will be posting shots from them. For the first one, I thought I would share this shot of a massive shelf cloud boring down on the beach. I was almost giddy as I stood out taking pictures of it while the gust front blew through and then I scrambled for cover as the rain began coming down. Living in a hilly, forested state, it is so very rare to get a great view of a storm like this! Needless to say, I was a little excited.
After the Storm
After a storm that knocked the power out and destroyed a huge tent we had in the back yard, the setting sun lit the underside of the clouds in pink. It was beautiful! Location: Gretna, Va Settings: f/4.0, ISO 250, Shutter Speed 1/20 of a second.
