Stewart, Nice work on the lenticular sunset!
quick question slitely related…how did you get the avatar photo to stick..I had one but it went away when technical difficulties overcame the site. Ican’t find a way to put up a new one.
Thank You Keelin For Your Kind Words. Its Difficult at times to take real credit for these shots because alls I do is record them. Theres a craft to that and it has been made a lot more universally accessible by digital, yet, sometimes I feel poor and weak in comparison to what I have photographed.
An example may be Han’s dissipating lacunosus. Countless times I’ve been fooled by my own photos, assuming a billow when it was dissipation. Theres a good reason to take notes when photographing.
Yet,If clouds would only give me time to look away and jot something down. In the desert here weather systems pass thru very quickly. The only weather that may hang around for days is the cloudless high pressure blue sky . Wind is our common ” alike” from Huff and Puff to Feathers and Fur to the photo below. The Thread Bare above is thin and made ragged by the various winds. The wind below has a strong forceful obvious presence yet the horizontal clouds across the bottom seem totally oblivious. Enough wind from me, hope to see more from all, Enjoy!
Why Thank You Kristy! Words of encouragement every now and then never hurt.
I’ll repeat what I’ve said all along and I’m speaking for myself only. Feel free to click and drag on any of my fotos and put them on your desk top or wherever. Please do enlarge them to whatever size you can get away with. The larger the better imho. If You Do Find a picture you would like to make a print of or would want to make even larger than what you can off of desktop, let me know and I’ll send you electronically a jpeg or pds file of it.
Below is a shot up through a break in the clouds during a bit of storm:another world up there.
HAA! White Shadows! Thats definitely different Hans.
I do a bit of Minimalism with the below, but relaxing and let the eyes adjust, slowly reveals more.
In between the rain spells I shot straight up and got this pic yesterday. Heres to 2017! Happiness and Health To All!
Hello Gini! Happy New Years to You and All of CAS! I hope there is a break in the grey for you to delight in the clouds. I had to wait for it to stop raining, about 5 minutes. The low fast moving stratus cumulus are always dramatic so I spent awhile in the backyard before I noticed I wasn’t dressed warm enough. The weather satellite pictures indicate wet for the next 24hrs.
Hans, Ok, for the sake of alliteration I’ll give you that, but to me that looks like asperitas definitely
When clouds are duplicatus..layers of different types stacked on top of each other, I have fun with the camera. I never know exactly what I’m going to get. There is fun in that. Lighting is varied from layer to layer. Direction of Movement is varied. etc. At some point I find myself ,,just taking pics rather than seeing a thought out photo. I tend to look for general patterns and construct around highlites using average exposure and contrast rather than anything too specific. Seldom have I been disappointed with this approach to shooting duplicatus. Recently I stumbled upon an entire session of shooting up thru duplicatus, that I had ,,umm, forgotten about. All of it is in the vein of abstract. The shot below is for your entertainment. Feel free to drag it to your screen and make as big as you want. ( suggested)
Roger,,Probably. Its difficult to tell . If the “curtain makes it all the way to the ground, then its praecipitato , precipitation/rain. If the ” curtain” doesn’t make it to ground, evaporates back into the atmosphere, then its virga. So, by your picture , the curtain appears to not make it to ground but you were there and would know for sure.
