Managed to go camping on the weekend with a few friends and finally took a few shots, seems like forever since I have been out...

Luckily, the clouds had a few holes in them :-)

I love seeing patterns in clouds and this collection almost made a heart :-) I love clouds...I take so many pics of them when we go for drives, and then they sit in my computer...so I decided to share a few.

For those who are not in the know about filters for cameras - oh yes we use those to distort reality too ;) A reverse graduated filter is simply a filter which darkens the sky and then also has a even darker band that can be aligned with the horizon to really reduce the exposure on the sun (the brightest part of the scene) during those sunrise and sunset time, those leave one with a nicely exposed frame.

Now, i don't have one of these since they are pretty specialised and really can only be used in a few cases anyway - you can also replicate the filter with a couple of normal graduated filters...

anyway there is a point to all that, there are some mornings when the cloud and sun gods shine upon you (hahaha did see what I did there ;) ) and you get a scene like this where the band of cloud along the horizon provides you with a natural part of the reverse graduated filter :)

nicely played clouds and sun :) its a bit of boring composition but I could not really find anything else nearby to jazz it up and by the time I would have climbed down the rocks the light could have been all gone :)

Coliseum (Roma)

Virga backlit by the setting sun. I spotted this while doing 60mph on a country road trying to outrun the dust. I was able to reach across and take this shot out the passenger window all while eating a slim jim and managing to not spill any of my... beverage.
