The other night I stopped by my parents campsite at Presqu'ile Provincial Park to mooch some supper and enjoy the cooler weather by Lake Ontario.
Shortly after arriving I learned there was a severe thunderstorm watch in effect and sure enough, right around the time the steaks hit the BBQ the skies opened and the lightning and thunder interrupted the sounds of the singing birds. They were getting a little annoying any way.
The rain eventually stopped during supper and I could have stayed for campfire but I had a feeling that with the clouds breaking up and the sun trying to come out, I might be able to locate something worth photographing.
I didn't know if I might run across some wildlife or some interesting cloud formations with the suns reflections on it but I hoped to find something.
After driving around the park and thinking I was just going to go home empty handed I approached a corner on the road meandering through the woods. All of a sudden in front of me the sun broke through and the suns rays lit up the corner ahead.
I quickly pulled the car over and grabbed my camera and snapped about a dozen quick shots before the clouds covered up the sun again.
Here you can see one of the photos I edited from that moment. It looked good in colour with all of the green and wet leaves but something about the view screamed black and white to me.
Looking at this finished photo, I think I made the right choice.
