I left for work in my winter jacket on a raw, damp morning that was spitting a cold drizzle from a lowering iron sky. I walked out of work into a warm spring afternoon that was topped with a blue sky studded with cottony clouds. A very simple effect--Color Fade Vertical--makes a distinction betweem the grey industrial grime on the ground and the glorious clouds above.

  1. Sounds like typical Melbourne Victoria weather, if you don't like it, wait five minutes and something different will come along, ask Glenn, but don't tell him I told you, I'm a Sydneyite. Strong Feud.
