You do indeed see a portion of the 22˚ halo, Hans. And here’s another from a morning last Spring. I posted a different image from the short series I took of it to our B&W thread last summer. It was the first one I’d ever seen and it took my breath away! This one, too, did better with a bump in contrast.
It’s so true, though, that Mother Nature can go wild all by herself with her palette sometimes. And it looks like you caught her in the act!
Hmmm…. I think this fellow might be responsible for those scratches, Hans. Even so, he has some nice texture to add to our recent theme here.
You are all so right about the challenge of capturing the subtle colors of iridescence, sundogs and the like. In the image below (taken just this past September), I pushed the contrast to make them more apparent. I’m guessing it was too much adjustment for the Gallery, so I’m very grateful to have this forum thread for sharing it.
I love the subtle sundog surprise in your parhelic circle image, Michael. And wow! Always Keep An Eye Open is like some kind of rainbow-finned wonder, Hans. Beautiful! I keep looking…
So wise you were not to wait, Michael. I’ve never seen a cloud bow — at least not yet. So thank you for sharing this reminder of how full of surprises the sky can be. Ok, eyes open, head atilt, smile at the ready…
Those seductive textures invite us to dive right in, don’t they? Speaking of which, it would not surprise me to encounter Davy Jones lurking somewhere below the image below ~~~
Congratulations, Micheal and Hans! Your back-to-back beauties for June and July contribute nicely to CAS’s 2018 calendar. And I see Michael’s gorgeous Cumulonimbus praecipitatio on the Gallery this morning. What a bright start to the day.
And watch out, Hans… someone appears to be playing peek-a-boo with your impressive Captain Hook!
Tick Tock…Well indeed, Michael! I’m enjoying the illusion of that ess “shadow” below the main horizontal cloud. Some kind of magic happening there. And Mondrian would be proud of that lovely “mess”, Hans!
Seems as explorers, we are more than willing to sail our eyes in any and every direction that tickles our aesthetic senses.
Just beyond his reach
Brighter than a golden sun
Oh! The Fleece! The Fleece!Jason’s DreamOh those luscious greys! It looks like you’ve managed to capture the full range there, Hans. And I can’t help but see in Strangeness someone familiar from my own archives (though you might need to don pareidolia glasses for the image below). He looks to have ventured far beyond Michael’s serene and gentle Knoll to more extreme northern climes. And could it be he is wearing an eyepatch? Surely this fellow has tales to tell.
Arctic ExplorerNicely woven, Hans — the wording AND the basket!
Continuing to pump up the contrast here. Looks like this flock found its watering hole…
Winter MigrationSimply blown away by your latest photos, Michael. You’re doing that magic with the grey tones again.
In the image below, I felt a high contrast approach would be appropriate to accentuate the drama.
ThornbirdFabulous images, Michael! I look forward to returning home and commenting further (and sharing new photos) next week. You’re keeping us quite alive here!
Well, I actually googled Duast Bunnei before I realized it was but a country in Michael’s mind and enjoyed a good giggle at the excellent wordplay (and my gullibility!). Following that, more oohs and awes while taking in those essential vitamins of which Hans speaks. And Hans, may friendly figurals follow wherever you go in the coming weeks. I send this one now to keep a special eye on you!
