Well, the vicious skies looked like they would dump and dump they did! At least they dumped enough so that they returned to looking like simple mammatus clouding all over again and here I thought mammatus clouds signaled rough weather but they never mentioned the skies I saw and just posted. Egad! TAKE COVER! I've had enough. This was taken from the path where I posted my first shot. Fortunately, there was little lightening, allowing me to find a tree for some cover.
Another year, another July the Fourth and a really serious sky be with you. I came up my new trek over to Roger's Grove for Independence Day fireworks past the medical dope dispensary. This evening;s sky served up a dandy fireworks show in itself. I thought that I would be able to stroll over to watch the evening's festivities but I had to stop several times at various spots to peruse the sky. I liked this spot near the bridge over the river because of the deteriorating cottonwood. What cottonwood isn't deteriorating?
This looks, sans cottonwood, like the impeding doom of yet another hurricane over Puerto Rico. The Dotard Donnie wants to nuke it before it get to the bed bugs at Doral but is frankly waiting for it to get to Puerto Rice before dropping the big one. That's right, two birds with one stoned Trump. Dorian, Doral and the Donald sounds like alliteration to me. Good match though!
And again, this aky is the announcement of getting climate hammered by carbon-spewing American industrialists. Will the Orangeman limit all fireworks to his own speeches and Bolsonaro? I sure hope I don't get hit by any of the fireworks: I am only on Medicare and the righties are into disassembling all American full-pay health care. The left-over Kochs buy their own health while serving up poison to the riff-raff.
I hauled along my medium telephoto-zoom that I like to use for light and fireworks shows. My sky shots were all going to be constrained by the mild telephoto. I figured the evening would replay the year I took shelter under a Roger's Grove tree during the heavenly sprinkle but this year. I never waited out the dumpage with a damp camera under my soaked shirt. Note to self, take a plastic shopping bag nest time.
I'm trying hard at the moment to improve my post-processing skills. As such, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to go back through my photostream, pull out some old images that I like, but was never happy with, and see if I can improve on them. All the "before" and "after" shots from this exercise - including this one - are posted in the "Image, Redux" gallery on my photostream page.
This was originally taken in 2008 in the Cotswolds, in rural England. The sunset was payoff for a long, cold trudge out to the middle of nowehere, before I learned to streamline my camera kit. Hopefully this time around I did the image a little more justice!
Lots of detail -- not to mention the cows! -- gets lost in the medium size. Best viewed large.
Tonemapped in Photomatix, then re-blended with the original -2, 0, and +2 EV images in PSE.

After I posted my Math Compass photo for Macro Mondays (theme was Rule), I felt that it could have been done much differently. Since I just can't wait until the end of the year for the possiblility of a MM theme of Redux, here it is...
Macro Monday: Redux 2018
January 15 theme "A Favorite Novel (Fiction)" - "Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery
This was my intended theme, however, I noticed that it would also work for "Green" (Nov. 12) as well as "Plastic" (April 23)
Just after dawn at Shingle Street, when the gloomy skies cleared. I wasn't hopeful of getting any good shots but quite pleased with this.
I wanted to do a photo book of some of my pics, but they are all to small. So I've been going thru old pics and messing with some of them too. I'll be creating a separate account just for printing.
