Franz OssingParticipant
Clouds in Dutch painting is a classic. Newest is an exhibition at the Barberini Museum.
Impressionism clouds and weather in the ‘Hague School’: here’s my latest contribution http://bib.gfz-potsdam.de/pub/wegezurkunst/Impressionismus_holland/The_Hague_School.pdf
In general, about Dutch skies in painting you may find some info here:http://bib.gfz-potsdam.de/pub/wegezurkunst/start_en.html
Especially referring to J.v.Ruisdael’s views on Haarlem (the one at the top): “Haarlem’s Crown of Clouds” http://bib.gfz-potsdam.de/pub/wegezurkunst/KAH_Luft/KAH_Luft_E.pdf
Keep your heads in the clouds, folks!Franz OssingParticipantHelmholtz would have taken the shifted “t” (helmholzt) as a proof of the 2nd law of thermodynamics’ entropy 😛

Franz OssingParticipantThough a bit late, I have to offer a strong virga tail of an As sheet, Berlin, Germany:

If you want artistical expression then process the photo but make this clear by adding an (m) for “manipulated” to the title as is convention in the media (or should be, not to talk about “The Sun”).
The rest is good/bad choice: look at some of the harvest moon pictures where the moon was photoshop-enlarged so much that you could see the pixels while the horizon was sharp.
Franz OssingParticipantWe had the upper picture (Monet in London) at the exhibition here in Potsdam.lookin at it you are really overwhelmed how Monet brought Londond fog (smog?) on the canvas. Yu simply do not move.
Franz OssingParticipantTo me it looks a bit like Photoshop comparing a) the size of the moon and the buildings at the horizon and b) the different pixel size of the moon and the horizon line. Even with my 400 mm lens I never got a moon like that. But may be I am too sceptic?
