I do like dark threatening skies that co-exist with sunshine. The contrast between the well lit subject and the dark backdrop make for a theatrical effect that is very appealing. Over the years I've photographed buildings, a church, a manor house, Tower Bridge, London and an old walnut tree in this kind of lighting. Recently I had another opportunity as we crossed Castle Meadows by the River Usk at Abergavenny. Often these dark skies turn to rain. Here it seemed to be associated with the high ground behind the town and cleared shortly after I'd got my shot.
