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.
Yes Hans, Lennies are a challenge to photograph. Getting focus is a matter of finding a sharp enough edge. I often keep the lennie at a distance,,abit less than full frame and focus on an edge at a mid point and with enough stop ( f22 or more(less) ) hope depth of field will cover . Often tho, on big or long Lenticulars..no depth of field will cover miles or kilometers. A wide angle zoom mite help if you can get close enough to a Lennie. Great depth of field.. I like to underexpose lennies also..The icy skin can show details when underexposed.
Here is a shot of Something I Found Swimming In My Sky
