Although it looks as if I’ve gone down into the caves, that tiny black speck in the image below (3 o’clock to the right of the spotlight beam) is actually a bird, not a bat…
SpelunkingI agree wholeheartedly with Hans. Virga Weave is truly extraordinary, Michael! I hope we find it included in the CAS calendar 2019. And just now I see you’ve posted another Virga beauty! The sky that day must have had your whirling. Hoping to see more of these fantastic images you’ve captured.
And No Way is in no way less captivating, Hans. The simple beauty of it is relaxing to the eye and is evidence that you know where to look in a sky filled with possibilities. And how did you find such perfect compliment to the shearing series? Before and After tells the whole story and brings with it an astonished smile.
I’ll need to do some serious spelunking for something worthy to offer here. I did come across an image that resembles the proverbial Missing Sock, but put it back in the drawer for now.
It’s all so delicious (thanks for holding the anchovies, Michael!). And I am swept away by your Sweeping Virga, Hans.
Found this Basket for the sheared wool a few postings above.
PS: And what a dramatic skyful on the Gallery, Michael! Just seeing that image made me want to breath in deeply.
Found an unusual cloud in the sky cupboard today — along with a secret recipe in the Vault, Hans!
Let’s Make Pizza!Great drama in both photos above, you two, and your fingerprint in our B&W forum is quite distinctive as well, Hans.
Although the contrast in the image below was tweaked to bring out its various, subtle textures, it still seems to remain mostly a
Landscape of Forgotten GreysWow, Michael, these are beautiful photos you’ve shared with us. I like the subtle repetition of lines in An Art Deco Cloud Shot. It’s almost as if the cloud lines on the left are having a cloud thought about themselves on the right. The mind (well, mine at least) wants to play there. And Cloud Still Life #2 is just fabulous. So richly textured, wonderful to look at.
The days are definitely getting crisper here, and thanks to sheep who were shorn in Spring, we shall be warm in Winter. I don’t really have sheep, but that doesn’t make me any less grateful for their gift!
Shorn ‘nuffThanks for the dance, George ~~ mesmerizing! As is your Stray Sundog, Hans. The varied dark greys in the background enhance the dramatic quality perfectly.
Here, the early evening sky a few days ago was like a gallery of Monet’s Water Lilies.
Love the space shots!
Found this on the menu. I think it would go well with your Morel, Hans. And whatever Michael comes up with is always dessert for the senses.
Layered Cloud Serving with AsperitasPS: Nice dragonfly on the CAS Gallery, Hans! A dramatic capture and release.
Beautiful layering, you two! When I took the shot below, I wasn’t thinking such things. In fact, I’m not quite sure what it was that inspired. But once home, and remembering Michael’s playfulness with images, I took a look at the negative version and like it very much (reversed image to follow).
DimensionsA brilliant shot of brilliance, George! Seeing something like that would have me doing the Sundog Dance for sure. And thanks for suggestions from both you and Hans to look more up than up. Indeed, I’ll remember that for next time.
Looking further through archives here, this is the only other 22˚ halo I’ve captured so far with my camera (iPhone 5s). Pushing the contrast to this extend, still leaves the colors faint, but the excitement of seeing it undiminished.
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.
