Thank you Hans for your kind words. Another shot from that same shoot is already in the gallery; the one of virga with a tree at the park. I’ll go back and check for a color version. I should have one or two. It was an extraordinary shoot where if you took a shot in one direction you had to hurry not to miss another worthy shot in the opposite direction. We don’t get a whole lot of cloud but when we do , its fast and furious. That shoot was no exception.
Nice work above. Like the abstract!
Heres another Virga from the same shoot.
Nice Shots There! Reminds me of this morning. I had to get out a flannel shirt in order to watch the sun rise.
The shot below is all natural. I like cloudscapes that are all natural but due to form, texture, lighting etc etc come off looking like anything but natural
Anything But Natural.The light caught just the edge of that..Nice capture Hans!
I was fascinated as I watched this picture develop over time.
I like when clouds superimpose ,combining to form a third. Thats as close to the very definition of Surreal as I can get. Thanks Hans.
Keelin You snuck in there while I was composing this post. Nice anteater!
This shot reminds me of Bas Relief
Unique texture there Keelin. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. Haa! dark virga sinks in an easy composition! Nice one Hans.
Texture #3
HA! I have proof that the Pambamarcaians Weren’t Crazy!
Also,,One of the hints I read somewhere about these Cloud Bows is that there is a belief that they are a lot more common than commonly thought. Well then, where are all the pics? Granted, this one did not last very long but across the whole world nobody has witnessed one since my post?I can understand Ian’s position on photoshopped shots, yet its a difficult place to be. Drawing a line between acceptable and not …well thats what an editor gets to do. Iridescence is very rarely as photos show it.
This one demanded patience. I kept checking in on the halo I first spotted around 2pm. The sundogs began sprouting arms as the afternoon progressed. Around 3:30 pm they started stretching and for a few minutes as foto shows, the right kind of high altitude ice crystals came along and voila’ , a parhelic circle formed. Seems like a once a year occurrence for me..
Thanks Keelin and Hans!..2018 just arrived and Im happy to be included in CAS tribute to it. We’ve got good company there Hans and Keelin..time to get some color in the camera and go for it! Im cheating tho. I already have 3 shots Im holding off for 2019 consideration. Nov 4 was a banner day. Over 400 shots! Have processed only a few but they are keepers.
Heres a Cloudscape from a while ago.
Anything But Natural.
