Morning Storm, Oregon

Medium: ilfochrome
Size: 20x20", 30x30"
Edition: Open

I was on my way to work at about 6:30 in the morning when I came across this scene. Since I always carry my camera with me, I quickly stopped the car and got out the gear.

I ran about 25 yards to the left side, to get the foreground grasses to work as part of the composition, set the Hasselblad on a tripod and took several spot meter readings of the scene. I had time for only one exposure, as the storm was rapidly headed directly toward me, and the light behind me was changing. I quickly took the photograph!
