Many travel guides advise tourists against visiting locations during Hurricane season. I took the liberty of capturing this shot carefully during Frances' push through Miami. I (barely) stood on the pier as a strong storm band blazed across Biscayne Bay. This was the result.
Rotate, crop, applied "Anvil" setting from virtualPhotographer and later darkened the edges slightly to enhance the aged 'Lomo-like' effect reminescent of old Hurricane style documentary photos.

Wow, this makes we want to visit this place (a bit sarcastic, perhaps!). Thanks for braving the weather to bring us this photo! It surely captures the drama here!
Wow! I love the grain in this shot. Hope you were somewhere safe. This would be a reason not to go to Florida methinks. Classic looking storm shot though. 8
very brave - was this in florida? you have certainly captured the drama, and i think the noise / graininess of the image works especially well in this case. the burning at the sides is another nice touch. very good shot, and splendid choice for the challenge - so few people posted shots of negative things. 9.
Sending people into Florida this week would not be a profitable business, unless you worked for the Red Cross or the National Guard. Residence there probably are going to want a totally different kind of image in the travel guide...
Courageous shot but I can't imagine it being put in a travel guide saying "come see our hurricanes, get a chance to die..." I like the B&W, the grain, and the black corner.
