This was taken at one of my favourite locations - the main Omagh road facing N towards Cookstown on April 24th 2014. Roisin and I where driving along this long straight road under grey skies and rain when suddenly the sun came out and lit the landscape into wonderful warm colours which looked very dramatic so we pulled over and got images. I took this 10mm shot from the middle of the road with the bright setting sun colours making for a very contrasty scene against the dark storm clouds in the sky aloft, you can really sense the distance of this road as it seems to travel forever towards the horizon and for a moment it didn't seem like N. Ireland, instead it could have been an outback road in the USA or Australia, in fact, someone likened the image to a scene from Mad Max which I thought was rather fitting. I'm glad we got images during this short window of perfect light because 5 min's later the clouds closed in and it was dark and raining, read the report for more information. * All images are available for sale in the form of photo prints, canvas or digital files for licensing, if you are interested in a purchase simply drop me an email. |
