Matanzas Inlet is a beautiful place…popular with both fishermen and Least Terns…and easily accessible because it is part of Ft. Matanzas National Monument. But of course it is the clouds that dominate this image. Thundershowers waiting to happen. The low angle, thanks again to the flip out LCD on the camera, and the long stretch to the horizon add to the tension of the sky. The extra wide angle zoom also helps to capture the effect.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 23mm equivalent field of view, f8 @ 1/800th @ ISO 160. Program mode.

Processed in Lightroom for intensity and clarity.

And here is an alternative way of capturing the day. It needs to be viewed large. Three 23mm views, stitched in PhotoMerge in PhotoShop Elements 9, and processed for intensity and clarity in Lightroom.
