This was actually a test shot when I had the 10-stop ND filter on my lens. It was shot at 6400 iso- and I then proceeded to shot this scene in long exposure at iso 200. It wasn't until I was editing, that I realized I've been concentrating so much on long exposures, that I've lost focus on capturing the detail of the sky and only the motion. I really liked this shot with the detail in the clouds but I had to edit it a lot for noise- so it gave it more of a painterly look. At some point I'll post the long exposure to this as well.

So I went out to shoot the sunset and the clouds came all rolling in. I decided to shoot this image which I’ve had in my head for some time, and my mood fit perfectly with the theme.

Originally I wanted to shoot it with snow, which was inspired from a scene in a music video by AFI called Love Like Winter. But with the season the way it is, I don’t think it’s going to happen with snow. If we do get some, I may wind up revisiting this idea.

I think I spent over two hours working on this image, tweaking things here and there trying to get it as close to as I saw it my head, but I am still not thrilled with it. I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much time working on one image. But I am done with it for now, so here it is.
