Blustery Day

Clouds and wind to make an interesting image outside London

Not as blustery as Christopher Robbins saw, but enough clouds and wind to make an interesting image outside London. This store is just down the highway from where A. Milne lived and wrote Winnie the Pooh. I actually walked through the 100 acre woods. A charming place but not as picturesque as you might hope for. So, I was looking for an iconic image to give a sense of place. No Pooh bears around, but a cute little sign and some dramatic looking clouds. I exposed for the sky, composed the image with the sky dominating the frame(1/3 2/3 rule) and placed the sign near the upper convergence area(the intersection of the upper horizontal and the right vertical third). The exposure for the sky created a silhoutte of the buildings and the sign.
