A light in the gloom

It's been a weekend full of gloom and rain. It seems like this gloom and shadow would have no hope of light and a thought of an interesting lighting blog. But, there is always a light in the darkness. I was walking along the sanclemente Pier in the middle of spurts of rain and I saw this beautiful picture of creation. The sun was right in the middle of the dismal clouds and slate gray water. This pop of ultimate light source , the sun, brought these other pieces of nature to a bright reflection. This light gave an interesting blend of shadow and light contrast to the cloud that made them more contoured and shape. As for the ocean it gave the same contrast as the clouds but, was more focused in the sky line and them faded as further from the sun. Though we can not completely encompass and recreate this source but the reflection on a slate world might give texture a depth through one pure light source.
