Gini..I’m sure u have old email address since I have not received any from you on current. I sent you pic using a 2011 address I found..yonder. Or, perhaps Ian can find a way to give you my current email addy.
Hey H, good seeing you found a way to here. I’ve learned to click on ” Cloud Forum” where ever it is and however camouflaged.
Perhaps that is also at the foundation of my B&W photography of clouds. I create under the influence of ” Surrealism” as put forth by A. Breton, Magritte, et al. So, there is an emphasis on How one perceives perhaps more important than What one perceives.
I take pictures of clouds. Thats easy enough. With the advent of modern digital photography,,upgraded every 6 months along with everything else digital, every human now has the potential to be an Ansel Adams..or more preferably , themselves. In creation we find ourselves.
I enjoy ” dupelicatus” cloud because of what they offer, especially in B&W,,digital B&W at that. Multilayer clouds offer a reality of..multi realities. Working the gray tones brings out different facets as one digitally processes the photograph. So the photograph becomes more than a graph of a cloud or clouds. The photograph evolves to a subjective experience ,,that changes as one mentally sinks into it. The success of the photo graph, imho, becomes, how well does it get one mentally traveling..out of the comfort of the mundane and into the unknown. B&W,,digital B&W, offers relative inexpensive freedom to stretch ones mind, to deepen the human experience, to find ones ” self”.
Of course B&W is not limited to that. However, it is how I am exercising the craft. So, there is a freedom in my photographic style that may wish to leverage the viewer out of the box of the mundane,,and thus experience some ” freedom” of their own. Not only to say, clouds look like things,,but to say..they give the visual opportunity to experience beyond oneself,is my hope. B&W is an obvious and easy first step away from one reality. Clouds are perfect metaphors imho.
These photos were taken a day of each other. Is there a common ” Armani” thread connecting them?
Thank You All. CAS allows the asperatus event to further its influence. Thank You CAS for being here.
A few more shots of the event. The first one is almost straight overhead, up into a updraft or pocket part of the undulation.
Thank you Ian!
Below is a shot taken almost straight overhead. Its opposite of the thin altcum undulatus in its billow and ooze. Yet, I can still get lost in it when it fills the screen.
A nice sunrise there Graham. Makes getting up early worth it. Below is sunset close up from backyard here in Phoenix:
