      Michael started this topic as a tribute to the CAS cloud, Asperitas. Now volume 4 has its 100 posts, so this is the moment to start volume 5. Ruth had the Last Word in volume 4 while Michael is the most frequent contributor to this topic. Arizona offers good conditions to spot asperitas I suppose.

      Here is one from an older series of mine captured in France. It is like continually doing the wave in this topic.

      Ruth, We don’t get a lot of clouds but when we do, Asperitas is usually included in the hurly burly that makes it over the California mountains and into our deserts.

      Thank you for your kind words. Asperitas is the most fun cloud to work with. Its almost impossible to get a  bad shot. I check out with camera in hand when Asperitas is spotted.

      Hans,  once again thanks for your encouragement.  Asperitas has a big learning curve for me.  Close Up is reminding me of a sea shell.  Super shot.

      Michael,  you take the lead on this thread.  There must be a good way to read this cloud formation.  They love you.

      Ruth, Yes, itz all about lighting as to the weight of the picture. Contrast helps but to fill the clouds with light, goes back to Turner. Your last shot is some serious cloud. Im always taken by the passing silent drama of Asperitas.

      Below is about how far I should go with low contrast and still see the asperitas

      Michael, I really think your #150 is a keeper.  I need to look at doing more telephoto. Your details are awesome.

      Nice shot Ruth! Did you get a telephoto  lens or was  the asperitas that close?

      Michael,  my cameras are all point and shoot with fixed lens.  I had luck getting closer to that last cloud group.  The light was nice.

      nice Big Sky asperitas Ruth..Point and shoot with a zoom lens is almost a perfect set up for cloud shooting imho.

      Michael, thanks for the comment on the point and shoot cameras.  Any camera for me has a huge learning curve.

      Michael, you caught some nice colors in #513.  Close to purples.

      Calm, rough with little motion.

      Ruth..the thing is as that shot as seen on my computer screen and my file  there isn’t any purplish especially on the left side. I’ve noticed this about the new hosting..photos gain saturation and maybe some contrast when transition to here..Not a big problem but every now & then you or some one sees reds or purples where there isn’t supposed to be any noticeable. .but you are rite.

      I caught a ripple of aperitas rolling through Ruth. You caught gentle rolls and some steep stuff goin on above the hills. I don’t kno what I caught below but its looking back at me.
