Story:
Last Wednesday we decided to have an evening barbeque, which we normally do on weekends. While lighting wood to prepare charcoal, I notice dark clouds forming over my zone.
You could sense the particular smell when it is about rain. Do understand that this is caused by ozone particles that clouds bring along, cleaning the air.
Went inside to fetch camera and tripod and started shotting as different cloud forms were created by the wind.
At certain point the sun disappeared and was almost dark, so put away my gear. Went inside to fetch a wine bottle, when I returned outside, noticed that the sun managed to find it way. Rushed to set up tripod and gear, and found out that the tripod lock was broken, delaying a few seconds. During this time light changed rapidly and missed some precious images.
The strength of what I saw, was able represent in these images by adjusting the contrast, saturation, and levels.
