365.79 Ohne Titel (Sending Feelers Out Into The Void)

Leaving work today, I walked outside and the clouds… oh my, the clouds. I pulled the D7000 out of the bag and started shooting. I took the long way to the car. D7000. Sigma 30mm f/1.4. ISO100, 1/8000th, f/1.4 (yes, I should’ve stopped down, way down. Oh well. By the time I realized it, I …
