CS #671 - f/8 and be there...

[Gordo]

Had some serious weather in the area yesterday and overnight. Small tornado in Wilcox, micro-bursts in Tucson uprooted trees/ snapped tree limbs and knocked over cacti and block walls. Flash flooding all over the area. Heavy thunderstorms here with loud thunder from about 2:30am to 4am, didn't get much sleep.

Went out this morning since it was still storming a bit and we were getting some good low clouds in the mountains. Took the Pentax stuff for the weather resistance. I got a bit damp. And muddy. Both taken with the K-1 and DA*200/2.8 @ f/8.

For sure! This has been a very fun shoot, because I could post a picture of ... anything I could think of.

Weegee's addage F8 and be there is great advice.

Thanks Gordo!

Very nice theme and great to see everyone's contributions. I'm hoping I can free up time by Oktoberfest, and be able to shoot some for both the Collective Shoot and Oktoberfest (trying to be optimistic).
