About	Today as I drove across Alberta east to west I bumped up against this huge storm which is often to happen around this time of day here. The weather reports said that a twister had touched down from this one not to far from where I was. So with that news I headed right to it, hoping to catch one of these wild manifestations. WELL NOT THAT CLOSE AS I AM NOT A STORM CHASER, but just the same I have dreamed of twisters since I was a kid and have only seen one once from a fire lookout that I manned years ago in northern Alberta. I am satisfied never the less not to have seen one as the sky was so dramatic that I couldn't stop shooting so long as I stayed near the edge of the action where the light opened and closed leaving pockets of highlighting here and there.

Oh wow . . . there are so many things I like about this shot. First is the most fortuitous lighting that lights up the subject and gives it an almost cheerful feel as it sits it in stark contrast to the black, ominous sky. I like the panoramic-ish dimensions of the photo, as I think it captures the vastness of the prairie better, not to mention makes the storm look even more massive and threatening. Finally, my favourite part about the shot is how you composed it. My instinct would have been to stand on the fence and zoom into the house/barn, but what you've done is so much better. Placing the fence in the foreground gives the shot depth and placing the house/barn waaaay off in the midground makes it look so tiny and vulnerable against the dark, descending sky. That's the clincher for me!
