Thunder Clouds – Will Eades

A compelling study of the colour blue. A captivating illustration of a singular moment of perfect natural light. An absorbing and enthralling investigation of the miracles of weather, sky and clouds.

This arresting image of a menacing storm cloud by an Australian photographer is a testament to the three characteristics of a perfect nature photograph: Patience, luck and magic. All were in abundance when this moment was captured.

The image also incorporates many of the factors that create a convincing and gripping experience for the viewer. We get to participate in the moment. We are offered the opportunity to experience this instance of serendipity with many of our senses, not just sight.

The power of the image lets us hear the sounds – or the lack thereof – sense the electricity, feel the wind, smell the approaching shift in moisture. Moreover, this striking image contains all of the tension of the moment. We KNOW something is going to – something has to – happen soon.

These metallic prints, exclusive to the TCH store, are mounted underneath perspex for a dazzling and striking look.
A specialised process called ‘face-mounting’ is used to create a durable bond between the print and acrylic (perspex). A high quality acrylic is used to provide superior UV protection.
