Aaah Fleeting Moments..perhaps a title for a cloud video.But the little virgas and big virgas drift so eloquently. I’ve often thought in terms..that if you see a great cloud pic..and don’t have a camera at the ready..its too late. Yet yesterday i saw a pic and the camera was at least 2 minutes away..Ok, I took a few short cuts..yes the rug got wet..but I got the shots. The clouds were slower than I thought I guess. Sometimes they fleet fast and other times they fleet slow.
Well Its definitely Monsoon Season in the desert whether I like It or not. So below is in tribute..
Monsoon Bomb..
H..I have one of those ” Digital Photo Frame” that is basically a slide show in a frame. Saw one at my dentists and I thought, Pretty Neat!..Well fast forward 5 years and there it sits..still in the original box..Yet I still think..one of these days..Perhaps when I retire I’ll get to it.
But you have a good idea. I’ve complained about the blank featureless ceiling at my dentist. I think dentists are sadists so you have to some how win their good side witha such a positive idea. maybe on the wall in the waiting room..anywhere..etc
Of course i’ve signed a few copywrite releases and will continue to do so.
Good idea!
Thank You Keelin and hygge…All donations gratefully received..Today it cooled off. Only 117f today. Slurpee Time!
Well, Keelin once seen,can’t unsee is my problem. I try to ” see’ the picture as it was in reality.. cirrus clouds overhead and I can’t find a way back to it. Portions are real but the whole ..won’t let me..One of the aspects of B&W..B&W is not reality. Thats what I like about your shots Hans and Keelin. Both of the above let reality go and tilt and drift , dance and drape as the clouds wish. The mind ,well my mind, goes with that with an ease.
Heres a CloudScape taken two years ago,,but I rediscovered it today.,,a bit of magic in that.
LG ..I get an ” earthy” smell. I’ve always assumed its the dirt in the air being washed and pushed around by the falling rain..Here in the desert,,the Dry desert,,my nose drys out easily..So a daily rinse helps keep the smell glands doin their job. On a Hot day..in crowds an what not..that may not be such a great idea tho.
I think a lot of Movement. Eye movement takes the mind for a walk thru the image. Thats why horizontal lines are calm and peaceful. They are static. Vertical adds the drama and together swirls and arcs and loops with light and darks , a lot of fun can be had with the mind. Keelin you have the Golden Proportion thing going there! Adobe Lightroom has that overlay as well as the classic thirds and a couple of other variations that are all supposed to help in directing eye movement. I’ve been getting into the Golden Proportion overlay recently. Cropping to its parameters creates fun photographs…imho.
The Foto below was created before I started consciously using the Golden Proportion overlay. Yet it fits. I like to think of the shot and the way it was cropped as..
Cloud Flag.
