The very first morning I was in the Cayman Islands, I stepped outside my lodgings and saw an amazing storm at sea.  No one seemed particularly worried about it or paid it much heed.  I figured it was similar to the way that hardcore New Yorkers and Chicagoans never look up and gawk at the buildings.  Still, I couldn’t stop starring at the storm and taking pictures of it.

In the many, many weeks I’ve spent there since, I have never witnessed so much as a dark cloud out at sea.  This was a one-off thing for me and I’m pretty glad that I was able to take so many great images of it.

What made the storm so spectacular to me was the fact that I had an entirely open horizon in front of me; there was nothing between me and the storm.  Not only that, but I was far enough away from it that I could shoot the entirety of the storm system in one image.  Not this image, mind you, but I did do it.  Also worth noting: I never felt a single drop of rain while I was out shooting.
