Thanks Keelin.
Love the lightness and softness of #163, Michael.
And….. so nice Keelin, the title of your post above says what it is: Once More With Flair.
On The Way For Some Travels Once MoreThanks Keelin. Lovely Moon Anchor. Seemingly tiny but rock-steady in these mighty undulations. I look forward for more haiku´s!
Back To Abstracts
You certainly gave it a thorough thought Michael whether to include land or not in a cloudscape. I find myself a bit in between: sometimes land or trees add to a picture – disregarding the situations where you can’t avoid it – and sometimes it distracts from what you want to capture. About the former lennies with land (Arizona Color #93) you wrote it was too labor intensive to separate them from the land. You can see that exactly the same applies to my lennies above.
I found your recent lennies on the gallery and I recognize Arizona Color #94 in it. Love it. What you say about the reference points I don’t understand, for this picture surely has a foreground with land which did not got edited out? I don’t understand what you say there, but that’s probably because I don’t get the whole picture (so to speak).
There is also this recent pileus and velum capture from you on the gallery. I like it very much and this one shows nothing less than the beauty of the clouds themselves like you prefer to do.
So….
Without Any Reference
Thanks for sharing Laurence. On the pole there is this amazing aurora on a unimaginable scale. Breathtaking.
It is exactly what you write Keelin, it depends on the picture whether some land or trees do well or not. So they do on your picture above. Love it! I see this quiet and peaceful scenery with some seasoning at the right place and exactly in the proper amount for good taste.
As to the abstracts I experienced that the exchange of our pictures on this forum opened my eyes likewise for abstracts, in B&W and in colour as well. The process of cropping and developing is always surprising!
For now there still are some pictures that suit the wishes of the honorable GWW.
Where Witches Dwell
Nice lenticulars Michael and you must have read about Granny Weather Witch who likes some land in pictures to be able to judge height properly.
Your #93 reminds me of a series I once made a year ago. By then I was not that enthusiastic about them, but I am able to develop them in a better way now (I think) than I could at that moment. For GWW also some trees are included.
You succeeded to surprise me again Keelin. Such a cheerful Skymaid.
I had to dig deep for a cloud that looked like something but since I noticed you like to write fantastic haiku’s I found this rather abstract interpretation of a cloud that looks like a
Haiku
I had to dig in my memories for this one Keelin. Fun to hear that song again and a very clever and funny association you made.
Rush Hour
On third and last of this series the supralateral was vanished and only the bright upper tangent arc was seemingly the only one arc left.
Seemingly because the b-r subtraction revealed also the presence of a suncave Parry arc and a part of the 22 degrees halo. Both invisible with the naked eye.
Keelin, the Sky-day project will miss your contribution, but I understand you don’t like Twitter. So the lovely Haiku is shared exclusively on this forum together with the moonlighted undulatus you captured.
And then the cool blues by Michael bring us back in bright daylight.
Space Oddity
This course from left to right, from undefined to undulating and from dark to light is very nice on Vertigo Keelin.
I just read the reply by Hygge accompanying a former picture in which he mentioned Granny Weather Witch (very funny nickname!), who always wanted some ground and context on a cloudscape. I think one can’t ignore a Weather Witch’s Wish heedless…..
