Storm Agnes

Myself and Mike Dutson made a last minute decision to go and try shoot Storm Agnes as she rolled into the UK, we headed up to Whitehaven arriving about an hour before sunset, the weather had suggested very strong winds and rain and with that the possibility of some big waves over the harbour walls here.

As it transpired the waves just did not materialise at all but the sky was absolutely epic with thick black cloud rolling through the area just in front of what appreared to be blue skies and wispy sirrus clouds behind it, I'd never experienced a sky quite like that before.

The rain was quite relentless but the forecast suggested a break in it right around sunset so I just set up and covered the camera over to wait for a clear opportunity, thankfully we managed several shots while we were getting a good soaking, the large bit of seaweed in the foreground had obviously been blown upo there with the winds as it is a lot higher than the shoreline, I took a shot with it in then went to remove it, the minute I picked it up it was blown out of my hand and landed in the sea to the far right of this scene, which gives you a rough idea of the conditions we were shooting in!
