Yes,Lighting is so critical to Asperitas. It helps to have some making it thru the clouds imho. I’ve learned to shoot Asperitas somewhat flat,,that is to say,,not with contrast dialed up. Details in the shadows get lost very easily with Asperitas. Dial down the contrast will get the details in the shadows and when I process the picture, I control how much contrast I bring back to the photo.

Thanks hygge!, I hope you witness Asperitas soon. It seems to me, if there are two layers of cloud overhead that improves the chances of Asperitas. Of course one can’t see two layers if the lower one is not transparent enough. Big Sky gives an advantage because if the upper layer ,say a alto stratus, is expansive enough the lower layer takes up only a portion of the sky in comparison , again making it easier to spot the phenomena. Its always easier to identify Asperitas from a distance than when its overhead. When its overhead its more difficult to identify the ” roll” of the waves, the peaks and valley of the wave action. At a distance just look at it upside down and you will know. I love the look on folks’ face when they do look at Asperitas upside down..” oh wow, now I see It!”

Looks like you even have Pileus or Velum going on there Hans. I’d say you captured some turbulent cloud there and the lenticular are coming apart from the turbulence. But again I need more to see in order to say Asperitas.
