A Dark and Stormy Night This was quite literally a last minute shot for +Weekly Photo Project 2013 . I hadn't an idea for our theme of Night, and the weather wasn't helping much. So, I looked outside the front door. From my G+ post: "So there I was, sitting at my computer looking at all the #weeklyphotoproject2013 photos when it dawned on me, tonight is the last night I can take a night photo (and be on time). Well, the weather was one reason why it came down to this. So, there I was squatting on my front doorway stairs with a remote shutter release in one hand, an umbrella in the other and my camera hanging upside down from my tripod, which I didn't know it could do until today, so there's that. Everyone's been there before, right? No? Well, the neighbors tend to look at you strangely." That pretty much says it all. I did minimal work on the post processing side, some DeNoise-ing and a little brightening of the shadows.
