arranging light

I almost didn't wait for this one. The thick line of clouds was hiding the sun. It was over 30 minutes after "sunrise" and still, I'd seen nothing worth looking at. I was ready to pack up and find a spot to shoot in the other direction using the sun as light instead of as a subject. But, I decided to wait it out, at least 30 more minutes.

Not 5 minutes later, the sun pushed out from behind the clouds and this appeared. Patience is key and has such beautiful rewards.

This fantastic display due, at least in part, to Hurricane Rita rapidly approaching the Texas Coast about 400 miles South of here.
