Description A stormy afternoon at Merimbula, high wind, surfers surfing and a menacing looking storm moving across from the land to the sea. I had found a few clumps of wind bent Tea tree scouting the area the other day so the two went together well. There is a great point with massive rock shelves facing the sea and east so that is another location I will be trying in the early am.
I left the exposed point very quickly as a single bolt of lightning arched thru the sky and a few raindrops started to fall.

I got some other isolated trees with the same storm on the point and I can always go back in the next 10 days if we get another one!

ah but I am soo sneaky and cunning that you did not even... dang... no I double rawed did'nt I hehheh
Behind my back when I took this there was a little blue caravan selling grease to the pundits and I'm HDRing that tonight. I thought the sky was so scarey that HDR might be overkill but you never know!

then do two renders of HDR one to express the sky and the other to express the land scape and skillfully blend the required parts of the two together.

I hdr'd it but your suggestion is Jim Carrey so I went for a single HDR Heath Legder version called the Joker.. look for it tomorrow... its intense and Golden Globe worthy
