I have talked about Landscapes a few times on here and openly admit that to do them justice (for the vast majority) you have to invest time and effort.  Sometimes you have to see an opportunity and try to find a way to make the most of it.

On my way home today the weather rapidly changed.  My cameras were sat on the front seat and I spent the next few minutes looking more at the sky than the road.  I had already decided that I was going to stop, but I just needed to find the right place.

Surrounded by fields with varying crops, I settled on a strawberry field where locals were busy picking and eating the crop.  The sudden darkness did not seem to bother anyone.

Enjoying the fresh breeze that you have craved all day on a day like these, I rushed to select lens, ISO, shutter, Graduated filter, tripod, I had to work fast as the clouds moved so quickly.  I managed to make a few exposures before I had to move on.

This one is my personal favourite.

One of the biggest jobs we as photographers have is trying to keep on top of our archives, this is no mean feat for those of us that are not what you would call a specialist photographer.  As a generalist, we can tackle most things.  Also like anyone else we need to recharge our batteries.

After a few days away (somewhere we have not been before), we had been to the seaside.  On looking around on the map we settled on an area to the north of Germany, close to the border of Holland.  With a huge Dyke along the coast, breathtaking and dramatic the scenery was not, but what that gave you was the potential for big big skies.

Thankfully one night did not dissonant.
