I agree Michael, the overall effect of this thread is as important as the individual pictures. I have this also with a CD. It is the whole thing that has its appeal (or not) as much as individual pieces.
It is magic Michael to unveil these structures in stratus. Usually stratus shows no more than one tone of grey and you have to search seriously for any structure. Very nice.
Here the structure was evident although fine.
Minimal Music part II
Give it a try! This I spotted very recently in a sky dominated by lots of mighty cumuli of many kind.
Mainly White
Ah, the pictures are restored! I supposed we can safely post new pictures again. The site is improved in my opinion. The performance is better and the caching issues are solved, so no difference anymore in what you seen being logged in or not. Well done!
Nevertheless: ERROR: Your reply cannot be created at this time.
So I have to be patient – and that is not easy for me, believe me – before posting something new.
And … many thanks Michael for your extensive explanation of the way you develop your pictures. I do it myself in a rather simple way adjusting the levels and some automatic repair or adjustments functions for levels or contrast, but my development process can be improved for sure seeing what Michael has done done to make “Herald”. Fantastic result!
The “Wind And Fire” picture of Keelin is also great. The title is very applicable and I like to continue on the fire theme later. Can’t wait ……
Thanks for your explanation about the burning and dodging, Michael. I haven’t applied or explored that functions yet with lightroom. Big Sky. I just keep on learning.
Terrific Herald! The message of the herald must be joyful. Love it.
It’s A Beautiful Day
White Bird
The asperitas and the cirrus are very different and I like both very much Keelin. Large undulations versus fine structures. Beware for the candle….
Oops Something Caught Fire
I can see the Fennec Fox, Keelin. At first I had to look for it, but – again – once seen it sticks in my brain. And Michael chooses the impressionistic middle. Both very nice.
ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
This is what I get almost every first time since two weeks when I post something. Is this the reason why no other contributions can be found on the forum since two weeks? Black and White diehards can’t be stopped this way. Of course I wanted to do that! I retry after deleting the text and image from the comment-box and then adding it again. Usually it gets posted well. This one has also been a two-step post.
Curling Cumulus
Looking for the second time at Cloaked Velum I saw this swimmer with his head turning away to take a breath above the surface. Once seen that way I can’t see it anymore otherwise. Strange phenomenon.
Minimal Music
It is heartwarming to read the kind words you wrote, Keelin. I feel proud.
And thanks for the repost of ‘A Big Sky Shot Over Phoenix’, Michael. I would not have liked to miss it. For some reason I can see ‘Mostly Grey Sunset’ twice now, while you apparently thought the first post disappeared (?). I like the play of crossing lines in it very much.
I agree with Michael that ‘Could Be From The Sea’ by Keelin seems to look at us. It is a very mysterious and intriguing scenery and I can keep looking at it puzzling about all kind of things that come to mind.
And memory of Sand Dune beaches, … oh the dreams…. I could not help thinking of Little Nemo in Slumberland.
So thank you both Keelin and Michael for these fantastic new pictures. What a lot to enjoy! When I look back from the moment Michael started the first Black And White Thread until now at (already) post 70 of Volume II, I could not imagine the richness of all these inspiring views on the sky. It may sound cliché but this is really what it is to me. So let’s continue to amaze each other!
And Let The Wind Blow Back Your Hair
Yes, Django’s music is also layered and has contrasts like on your picture, Michael.
I wrote about a weekend with great skies. Here under an example.
It is definitely the swimming goat Keelin, I can see him clearly. So thank you for this unexpected but also very funny come-back!
Snowy Mountains
Nice sunset with crepescular rays crossing other lines, Michael. Thanks about the Crow. Weird isn’t it?
Yes the site behaves different being logged in or not. Refresh after being logged in is still necessary. I know it is a problem caused by the caching mechanism, and I know that the issue will be solved, but also that it will take some time. In the meantime it is indeed some bouncing around, but when you know that you must be logged in, it makes things easier.
I posted a reaction to you topic “In memory of” at the same time I posted my latest contribution to this thread, but it got lost to my surprise. I was rather puzzled by your topic and could not found any information about the memorized man named Calb Endmonson, until I realized what date you posted the topic. Googling on nuclear art I found some really weird pictures taken in the Nevada desert. This one is made under more safe circumstances above my house.
No Nuclear Art But Maybe A Culliflower
