"Sunset, Storm, and Swing" was photographed in July 2017 on Tybee Island, Georgia.
I was actually chasing a thunderstorm that had rolled through Savannah and Thunderbolt and then Tybee Island, Georgia. The thunderstorm had moved offshore so I headed out on the beach where I would finally have a chance to photograph it. The lightning and thunderstorm was moving east out over the ocean, but toward the west the clouds were beginning to clear allowing this beautiful sunset. I was able to capture this one photograph before heading further down to the beach to photograph the lightning.
I'm glad I did capture it, however, because I think it turned out awesome. The yellow in the clouds was brilliant with the sun going down behind them and provided a warm feel to the scene overall. The stormy looking clouds added a dramatic look to the scene, yet blended nicely with the peaceful looking beach scene which included the swing, the sea oats, and even some foot prints leading up to the swing.
I think it will make a great wall art or beach art piece and is a great example of Coastal Georgia fine art.
