A Storm is Coming

Sitting in my home office writing these early morning blogs I get to watch some spectacular sunrises .  So a few weeks ago I decided to grab my camera and photograph them.  I took this photo last Saturday morning a few hours before another snow storm rolled into the Reno area.  Clouds and sunlight make for some splendid imagery. 

I like to process my images in Lightroom 2.0.  I usually spend no more then few minutes in post-processing.  I always shoot in RAW which allows me greater flexibility with my exposure and white balance settings, I use a tripod, keep my ISO as low as I can, and focus on the sky manually.

My camera specs for this shot were: Canon 1D Mark III with EF24-70mm at 40mm; 1/100 @ f/8.0; ISO 100
