Yes Graham, thank you for your concern and direction. I used that method on the first pic I posted on the developing New Forum. True, it works, but for me its yet another album to be kept organized and managed,,but it works…GPD..My understanding is that CAS is in development of becoming a “secure” website..hence the HTTPS and, TINYPIC service isn’t ,or hasn’t offered or received a certificate etc etc..so I gave Flickr a try and as you can see..I couldn’t get any of FLICKR’s links to work either. I’m being told that the whole CAS site gets a revamp within a month or so and downloading photos will be much easier. Yes..everything I’ve ever downloaded thru TINYPIC..is gone.
Nice Win for Poth on the Cloudy Horse ! A Fortunate venture !
I find the lighting around sunsets and sunrises produces soft greys as opposed to the high contrasts of mid day sun .
Thanks Gini! Unfortunately ,I am not a billionaire..;)
Below are three variations of seeing thru clouds that are at different elevations. I like taking these kind of pics because I’m never sure of what I’m going to end up with.
The inexpense of digital photography allows for a ” freedom” that silently screams to be taken advantage of.
Digital Stitching doesn’t have to be just for landscape shots…Take a photo. Save it. Then take same photo,,flip it. Save it (preferably to Desk Top ). Then take the left and the right version and ” photo stitch” them together..
Two examples:
Graham, Nice treatise! I hadn’t heard of the rainbow in the morning jinx. Good catch on the reversal of the warning on the 13th! Funny! But the truth of carrying a camera and taking a pic asap..is self evident. Thanks!
Gavin..Here is what I think… I live in the Upper Sonoran desert, Phoenix Arizona, USA. This region gets maybe 7 inches of rain a year. We have around 275 ” sunny ” days a year, and most of them are without clouds at all..Yes. blue sky from horizon to horizon. So..when we do have clouds..IT IS a cause for celebration, fainting and jumping especially when the event includes clouds of fleeting rarity. Just the opportunity for mental exercise offered by the quickly passing condensation, gives reason to get out of bed before sun rise and disregard all else when the slightest hint of an ” event” is suggested by the wind blown. I am allowed to ” flex” my working hours due to folks understanding the importance of clouds to me. Yes..I can leave work to photograph the clouds activity and make up for my time spent later.In that way, the celebration of cloud ..my life is centered around. I find myself in the clouds. And that is not weirdo,,and is of a value well beyond the mundane.
What is weird..is of all the things any one human can experience and do,,that so many never see the celebration that is going on right over their heads…for “free’.By ” free”, i do not mean..with out “financial cost” . I mean..unencumbered,,not restrained, liberated..Clouds offer opportunity to ” free’ ones mind,,ones Imagination. And that is to be celebrated. It IS weird that such a perspective is considered ” weird”.
