Wow, great Ocean Emotion Keelin. The emotion seems to be tempered already in #176 by Micheal where the waves are smaller although they seem to have lost their sense of direction. Two wonderful B&W’s.
Continuing The Wave
Great discombobulation above Daniel (I love the word!) and great chasing clouds as well Don.
Entering The Atmosphere
I love ‘Another Wabbit’ Keelin (nice to prevent him to hop over to the ‘looks like’ thread) and the abstract as well. Arizona B&W#175 is a smooth interruption of the tea party. Someone left this….
Mad Hat
I love all the recent question marks in the sky. Ruth started the series followed by Don and Keelin. I won’t question this. It just leaves me puzzled what the question is.
The last thoughts from Don (with great spiral DNA!) made me check Wikipedia about pareidolia and to my surprise there is quite a difference in the explanation of the subject between the English version and the Dutch version. In the Dutch version I found next explanation which I had to translate because I could not find it in the Enhglish version. Correct me when I am wrong.
“The reason for the existence of the phenomenon of pareidolia is that the brains need to make connections between different elements despite they might not really be there. Especially connections that can alert situations of danger, like the silhouette of a predator. The cost of seeing too much danger (fault-positive) is relatively low in regard to not seeing danger at all. So pareidolia is the result of fault-positives of the human recognizing of patterns. Pareidolia is a an everyday phenomenon and is not to be confused with hallucinations.”
I am still puzzled. I don’t see any danger in question marks. Nor do I see any danger in next one.
Prancing Pony
I love the view of that bit of iridescence Keelin. The scenery seems to be a view over the edge of the atmosphere.
A Nebula Beyond?
Nice composition in Arizona Asperitas#760 Michael. Next one was taken in a hurry a few days ago. I did not have time to change lenses not expecting this when I stepped outside. Nevertheless I did have my camera with me so used the wide angle that was mounted.
Quite a busy sky already Steven. Over here there are much less contrails than before the corona crisis.
Dashed Line
What a great variety of sunsets from everywhere. Welcome in this thread Meryl. Your vertical pano works more than well. Love it. Booties, a Fluffy comforter, a Flambe to enjoy all ending in a well tuned quartet of very different looking sunsets. Are they all taken in one evening Daniel? That must have been a great ending of the day.
Layered
Thank you Keelin and I agree with your words about granularity and it is a joy the way you phrase your thoughts so well. And then there are Shivers …….. and an quartet size in Arizona B&W#719 by Michael. Some pareidolia now?
Sunbathing
Lovely tender sunset colors Andy. The garnularity works very well in this one.
And also very nice mystery mystical clouds Ruth. I recognize the same scenery from the one you wanted to be identified.
Composition In Cirrus
Ruth, your last one is a nice mirrored sunset.
Usually we end a thread when number 100 is posted. You can see there are several threads that have a volume number, what we use to count them. So with your last mirrored one Volume V has to end and Volume VI has to come for Sunsets and Sunrises.
By the way: you can combine text and image in one post. Just type your text and when you are done position the cursor where you want to insert a picture and it will get there. In the beginning, the end or the middle. You can also start with a picture and add some text later.
I love to see there are many new contributors to this thread. All welcome. See you all in next volume!
Welcome Andy. You join just at the end of a discussion about using clarity in LR. Thank you Michael for all your information about the way you work. I did not know yet about the extra sensitivity for the infra red of the 6D sensor. I don’t know whether this is also the case with my 7D, but like you I am also sometimes surprised what detail comes up when enhancing clarity .
And you come up with great use of granularity in your B&W Andy. One can’t tell just because of the conscientiously use of granularity whether it is a digital one or analogous, but is it indeed an analogous picture? Love the composition and – forgive me – I see also this friendly witch with her bird on a flying carpet.
Swimming In Uncertainty so to speak with the latest B&W by Keelin who also lets Billy the goat revisit this stage. Although here are mainly abstract B&W’s, pareidolia is almost inevitable at stake in this thread.
Nameless
