Thanks, I like that Hygge. It makes me feel free to use this thread as an excuse to add this link:
Eric Verlinden’s new therory of gravity
In some way also a tribute, although still living.
Thank you both for your comments and…. wow George, I never saw a better time-lapse before. The movement takes pace with the music. The film is really well structured. Love it.
I would like to have the time lapse feature also on my camera. Since it is not built in I have been looking for other solutions, but I think I need advice on that one. I read that the built in timelapse on the 5D is driving Michael crazy and I admit it drives me crazy too. The budget is the problem, so maybe another solution outside the camera will help.
As to iridescence, it is nice to read that Michael likes the B&W approach as well as the colorful iridescence.( Nice example you added Michael). It turns out that we have this in common.
I recognize the problems with capturing iridescence and the way you use the telezoom, Michael. Furthermore I experienced that the result always seems to be a pale reflection of what I really saw through the lens. In the beginning I hesitated to add contrast by photoshopping, but I discovered that the right bit of photoshopping gives a result that seems to be more real than the unshopped version. Our brains do clearly different things with contrast then a programmed digital camera.
This summer I saw a lot of iridescence. Some of the pictures will come up later. Let’s jump in the fun, like Michael said.
There are also some B&W’s to post. And that makes me think that there is an opportunity for a separate gallery with only B&W’s. There must be certainly enough material.
Thank you George.
I use a Canon EOS 7D. This one was taken with a telezoom (100-400 mm) at 400 mm. It reaches far.
The blues are looking me into the eyes through the eyes of Jan Fabre, Hygge. Did you use this link by mistake or on purpose? In either way very funny.
Hello Hygge, I agree..
This is a funny coincidence:. I can’t play the documentary of Michael Portillo in the Netherlands (boring borders!), but accidentally I saw it yesterday on BBC. very funny to see him on places more familiar to me.
Here is another blue threat that gave some controversy in England or more specific in London:

Extraordinary! Loved to read the article learning about a monstermoon or huntersmoon. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Hygge, I think VR would literally add a dimension to cloudspotting…. Allthough some patterns seen from below in two dimensions are for that reason so intriguing. See the picture of the inspirational cloud with which MikeL started this inspirational topic.
Strange and nice, so many fallstreak holes together. Maybe caused by a playful pilote making holes in the layer of altocumulus by going up and down through the cloudlayer?
This discussion made me think of the Cheshire Cat:
The Cat only grinned . . .” “Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”.
3D clouds would give indeed a very different view on clouds since perspective is not well seen from the ground level. That’s one of the reasons the appearance of clouds can change so quickly and dramatically. And this lack of perspective makes it in turn inspiring looking up from ground level.to whatever clouds are visible.and how they develop.
