The Seaweed Tangles beautifully, Hans, and rising above for a bit of air — or is it for the chance to view clouds?, we might see a breach, a breath, and…
A Whale Of A SplashMichael, love the quiet blues in your AZ Cloudscapes #86 with its subtle wrinkles (how old is the sky?) and #87 like a pond just about to ice over.
And Hans, what a sound comes with your Exploding Cloudscape! After which maybe there comes…
A Very Frosty SplashWOW x 30, Laurence! Impossible to choose a favorite, but the Nacreous Clouds by Bartlomiej Jurecki are tugging at my heart. Thank you so much for posting the link.
A splendid solution and excellent introduction, Hans! And a lovely image to launch us all into this optic topic. So come out, come out, wherever you are, all wonders of light phenomena. No need to be camera shy.
Below, a moment that caught me by surprise as I was about to enter my local gym. A reflection in the tinted glass doorway stopped me in my tracks. Needless to say, exercise was postponed while I turned to capture the source of wonderland colors.
Reflection in tinted glass doorwayThe real deal, but with contrast tweaked to tone down the sun’s blinding radiance.PS: And yes, Hans, I think it may have been a part of CZA in ‘At Loose Ends’ (which also caused a delay that day in getting INTO the gym).
Glad to see your sundog survived the waves, Hans. Did it lead you to the treasure in your next post? What a gem! And that “peculiar” puppy is an absolute show stopper.
George, I hope you can stitch your waterfall photos together. It would make quite a spectacular image.
At Loose EndsGeorge: Just want to wish you and your wife a wonderful trip to Yellowknife next month. May all the Lights and all manner of delights be there for you! I look forward to seeing the images you capture.
Don and Laurence: At present, I’m not planning any trips to anywhere with a minus in front of its temperatures, but will save your suggestions for the (hopefully not too distant) future. Thank you both for posting such sage advice.
Your cloudscape of altocumulus lenticularis is lovely, Alexandra! I find the colors quietly moody in an especially beautiful way.
And Don, what lucky timing on this work in progress! I like to think you caught the sky working on a few lines of poetry — and using that Virga cloud as an editing eraser.
Thank you, Michael, for shining a light on LIGHT. To be sure, I’ll be holding onto your thoughtful and generous reply for guidance as I wade through camera options. This may take some time, but meanwhile, I will try to apply your keen insights on timing and patience.
With An Eye On Future PossibilitiesAn extraordinary beauty, Hans! A priceless jewel that can never be stolen, and one you will always know where to find.
Having just looked back through my archives here, I notice my first post to the CAS forum is dated January 10, 2017. It amazes me how quickly and intensely my interest and appreciation has taken hold for the wonders of the beckoning sky. So much of this is due especially to the warm encouragement that you, Michael and Gavin have continued to offer. You all have my deepest gratitude.
Out Of This WorldLove the gentle camber, your Softscape, Hans. And the dark tones bring a sense of the season yet to come. Autumn and Winter are my favorites, so it’s no surprise I found the cloudscape below reminding me of snowfall and Wintry wonderlands.
Come WinterThank you, Michael. Your detailed advice on camera options is much appreciated. And I’ll check out Adobe LightRoom as well. I would so much like to be able to capture the crispiness of clouds in instances such as the one shown below. Your Arizona Color#106 is good advertising for the camera you use. It’s a gorgeous shot.
