Arriving at work one morning, I was greeted by a chorus of 'look out of the window'!
There, over our car park, was the most amazing cloud formations I've seen in quite some time.
Heavy, ponderous waves of stratocumulus clouds were passing by low overhead, with most dramatic lighting, forms and textures.
I couldn't resist, and rushed back out to my car to get my good old Canon 5D and tripod to record the event.
Set up on the windowsill by my desk, I took a shot every five seconds for an hour as the drama unfolded.
Contrast, grain and an ND grad effect were added to the stills in Adobe Camera RAW before loading them into Premiere Pro to compile the final video.
