Before the storm... by KarmaSong
Open full image in new tabDescription
 On a stifling hot Summer afternoon, up in the Alps, as a violent rainstorm was about to break loose ...A privileged moment for me, always on the look-out for various shades and nuances of light...My Nikon seemed to be panicky as to where the focus should be among these lupins, but I like the result !...You may zoom in for further details!
 ...Thank you very much for visiting my gallery. Have a nice and artistic week-end !

Very beautiful capture here, enchanting flower, perfect title! Congratulations!
Beautiful shot. Well done
This really is a marvelous capture Jean-Luc, and a perfect illustration of the calm before the storm. Although it is hard not to focus on these lovely flowers, once can't help but get a feeling of the storm looming on the horizon.
This is a stunning capture!:)
J'ADORE !!!
very lovely. you may have to put it on manual at times. i learn that by taking photos of people in front of a brick wall and the people came out out of focus and the bricks in focus
Wonderful colors and fantastic details. Superb shot with fantastic DOF.
Un de ces moments où l'on ne sait plus quoi faire ! Courir se mettre à l'abri quelque part ? Ça grimpe !!! Redescendre ? On est loin de la vallée ! Alors on fait des photos en attendant d'être rincé !!! mais pour en faire une aussi bonne que toi, il faut avoir ton oeil et ton talent et si j'en juge par ce que l'on voit, ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde !
Ah ! Toutes ces nuances de lumière que tu as su si bien capturer. C'est une superbe photo mais j'espère que tu as pu trouver un abri :-) Bravo !
Beautiful, dear Jean-Luc, You have captured a precious moment in time. Hugs and Bisous Di. xx
Excellent atmosphere and mood you've captured here! The calm before the storm is always, like you said it so perfectly, a privileged moment indeed! This reminds me of the summer and the beauty of the garden… and here I am stuck with so much snow. A most refreshing view, that I could look at for hours! Thank you for sharing this, my Friend!
Je ne sais pas si le Nikon était en panique, mais quelle magnifique image tu as réussi à lui faire faire! A couper le souffle!
Magnifique photo, avec le contraste entre les fleurs encore éclairées par le soleil, et la sombre tempête qui s'approche en franchissant la montagne !
Very nice work Jean-Luc! You do have a poetic eye...
I hate it when my lenses go "hunting". You got a great result here!
AMAZING WORK!
