Yesterday after a day of looking out the window wondering if the sky was gonna clear at all... I noticed the clouds on the horizon beginning to clear around 6pm.  I knew dinner was at 8(and if the wife is cooking fried chicken and green beans, you do not miss it) so I had a perfect window to get out and shoot.

The clouds on the horizon remained clear, allowing the sun to BLAST its light onto my barn scene(which is only like 7 minutes from our new house).  I was running around in the field changing compositions and lenses.  While running I bent a tripod leg and dropped my camera into the soaking wet grass... guess it would have been better to just take my time.  Now I have a tripod with one leg that wont collapse and a muddy camera.  After that little hiccup, things went a little more smoothly.... 

It was a great day for panoramas and big sky images.  Hope you enjoy!  To purchase, just click any image:)
