hello fellow cloud lovers,
I just revamped my flickr (after years of not using it) as a backup for my cloudpics and I found this one again: morning sky
I took it five years ago (actually on my birthday :) ) in the morning on my way to work. the whole scene looked like a fake, so I had to stop my car and take some picture. the view was breathtaking and I’ve never seen anything like this again.
how about you? do you have cloud pictures that look like they were fakes? please share :)

I can see what you mean, Maribel. I flickred (not a correct word the system tells me but no matter) thru your album and muchly enjoyed it – it’s great to see someone appreciating their sky, and particularly the sky light. Thank you.

Well, the short answer is ‘no’, in fact I do not seem to have any pictures on this new forum, and but a few on the old one. I have two competent cameras but even if I take the odd snapshot I never seem to get round to uploading it to this forum. I only have experience of one other forum, a university forum in NW USA (it was in relation to a maple tree) and I thought that was much easier to use e.g. you did not have to worry about size, and could, I think, just link to the photo on your own computer.
It is much easier just to enjoy the experts like Mike Lerch (‘Michael’).

Maribel..Yes I do have Sunset and Sunrise shots that are so over the top, they look fake. I Live in Phoenix Arizona. They made a Sun set/rise part of the State Flag. So there is a certain amount of pride with our set/rises. And with that comes the outrageous and gaudy,,which I kno from experience to be real, but the colors are just …gaudy. One can dial the saturation dowm during the processing of the pic. Or as I’ve been working on..go with the outrageous. Since the color is beyond the normal parameters,,then why not the perspective or construction of the shot be different? Being creative with the outrageous is what I Suggest. Below is photo of a sunset I took years ago. I tried to do a Rothko version of it.Imho the Sunset is almost gone and the abstraction has become real..CLOUDS!

Nice picture. Yes, Rothokos in person can come to life in a way that reminds me of watching clouds. I wonder if there’s any correlation between cloudspotters and people who like abstract art.
I took this picture last night. Couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The phone’s camera changed the natural colors a bit, but not by much.

Michael: I had to point my sister in Colorado to your image Another Arizona Wild Sunset. It looks like a river she would love to paddle through the dappled canyonlands she visits. And Hans: Your pink sky image transported me back to the warmth of the womb on this cool rainy day in California. To All: Thanks for continuing inspiration and delight!

First Keelin’s Sunset Strip remembered me of a topic Hygge started about the perfect Blue of Yves Klein. It comes so very close! I was flabbergasted by that one.
Now Michael, you combine an ominous blue with the colors of the sunset. Surreally Cool.
Here is some solid gold.
Watch the B&W version on the Black and White Thread.
