Still trying to capture that unique quality you’ve mastered, Michael. The attempt has me looking at clouds both fresh and archival with new eyes. Thank you for this inspiration!
Dedications, Evocations, the lightness of feathers. All aspects inspire…
Found This One Under My Pillow
Evocative and inspiring, Michael. Hope to see more!
While my offering below doesn’t have as distinct a watercolor feel as what you’ve achieved in your images, it’s been fun exploring in this new direction.
And I must say Thank You again to Gavin for providing a forum in which we can continue to share our love of clouds in new ways that honor their enduring beauty.
PS: That tiny white dot near the center is the moon, just beyond its first quarter phase.
Is this fair? We get to sleep in and still have the joy of seeing these beautiful images. Thank you, Michael! I love the watercolor effect you’ve managed to capture. May we add to this thread? I think I have an image tucked away that might fit it, though it was taken in late afternoon. Ah! There’s the hope, Hans! Though I think you might have converted to early rising, judging by your photo appearing in CAS’s Gallery today. Very nice — a gentle awakening, definitely worth rising for. And Michael, if you have more, please continue this series.
Love the above! Below, not a lot going on. Just A Few Soft Layers and a little something to add a bit of depth and beckon the eye.
Nice wrap and fresh start, Michael and Hans! Here’s a little fun with a swish ~~~
In the Wake of the Dolphins
Those eyes in the skies are remarkable, Michael. What a nice shot of surrealism!
And a funny interpretation, Hans. Your image that followed looks to have been taken at sea and almost as if the fellow you saw in Michael’s photo had flipped over. Is this him now?
Swimming Through the WavesMore than luck, Hans! Not only were you in the right place at the right time with the right equipment, but also you have always the patience and evident, enduring love for clouds. Thank you for sharing the delight of your experience. with us.
Your Sun just shining is a beauty, Hans, easily emulating the mystery of the Moon. And how lucky to be able to stare directly at it here for as long as we wish and not be blinded!
Michael, missed you! This morning, I was thinking of your earlier comments regarding image rotation. Playing with the photo below, I found each 90˚ turn evoked a different emotion. After a few spins, it finally came to rest, somehow feeling More Hopeful in this orientation.
Thank you for the quick fix, Gavin and assistant! Now that that shadow has passed, here is the Mostly Greys image…
Beautiful compositions, Hans! Your series of Asperitas is truly breathtaking.
Here is a Mostly Greys image that I like for its soft, sleepy feel.
[…oops! can’t seem to add an image at the moment… the icon has disappeared. Hopefully a fix will come soon.]
So glad you were there and aware to take notice of the morning’s variable speed dance, Hans — and with camera in hand! Excellent captures of two distinct moods of Asperitas. And I agree, Michael is right about their affinity for black and white portraiture.
Below is an image that appears to me as if a long-fingered hand is holding the sun, ready to let it roll like a bright marble across the morning sky. How quickly the light would change and another dance begin.
