Dolph,

Nice shot! I can almost feel the wind blowing that palm tree. I can't wait to see more shots that may hopefully show the surrounding environment a little more than this one.

I'd be curious to see how this shot would look on a tripod at a slower shutter speed to get some of the blur of the palm fronds. However, I'm sure when you're in hurricane-type winds, your last thought is to run for the tripod and set up a shot. Was this in Florida?

Where were you? Getting dramatic weather photos can be dangerous! I remember shooting photos in the rain and getting me and my camera very wet.

The problem I have with this photo is there is no sense of scale. I don't know how tall the palm trees are. If there was something else in the photo such as a person or car or building, the viewer would have a point of reference and a sense of scale.

To all:
This was a challenge. I had just been pushed once by the wind at over 60 mph at my back. You have given me some great ideas for this next weekend. I will try and get other objects in the photo so the 30 foot trees have some perspective. However, it is dangerous in these condition with object flying all around you. I had tried to get a picture of a palm tree fron flying in the air.

I'll use your ideas to see what I get this weekend.
