Reymon de Real PhotographyRAYS OF LIGHT
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and we were sailing out of Vancouver, Canada towards Ketchikan, Alaska for a week of cruising in “America’s Last Frontier” when suddenly the skies transformed from bright blue to gloomy gray. We were aware of the weather forecast expecting rain throughout the cruise but didn’t expect the change to happen two hours after we left the port. So I headed for the Crow’s Nest of Holland America’s Noordam ship where I thought I would find the best remedy to a gloomy weather…alcohol! As I quietly enjoyed my White Russian while staring out at sea, I noticed the rays of light filtering through the clouds reminding me of those curtain lights they use in the theater. It suddenly dawned on me that nature’s spectacle was occuring before me so I pulled out my ever reliable iPhone 7Plus and took multiple shots. Had it been a regular sunny day, the scene would have been a plain and simple view of the sky, islands and sea but thanks to bad weather, I captured a hauntingly beautiful photo of the ominous clouds filtering the sunlight and casting dark shadows on the water. On that day I learned how bad weather surprisingly turned out to be the best thing to happen with my photography.

A helpful reminder to always have a camera around all the time. A truly epic well timed shot. How many did you have to take until you captured this beauty?

Lovely picture. Cloudy skies make much more interesting subjects than wall to wall blue.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo. I used to live in that neck of the woods and appreciate how you refused to let “bad” weather prevent your enjoyment. That’s key in Alaska…rain or shine, get out there to do and see.
