I was driving East on I-70 to Denver and i had to pull over. Thank god i had my camera, i never seen the sun light up the sky and clouds like that before.
The violent storms that lashed the east coast of Australia were still rumbling out to sea when the gentle ribbons of sunset filled the western sky promising a calm night and better tomorrow.
Shot near Calle Real, Goleta, CA
This shot is laden with my copyright watermarks (23 to be precise). Want to know why, then read on.
I am no pro-photographer, and I don't make money by selling my shots. The only reward I get for all the shots that I post here is the appreciation and comments that I get from you my friends and I am satisfied with that for now. I put a watermark to just let people know who took the shot, and I try hard to place it in locations that don't interfere with the subject of my shots. I have no problems with people using my shots, as long as they let me know about it and give me credit when they use my work. In fact on many occasions, I have given out non-watermarked photos of mine to complete strangers for use in their work, on the sole promise that they would give me credit when they use it.
Recently I found out about someone who was using my photo as his facebook profile picture. He had cleverly cropped out my copyright watermark from the image border. That particular shot had a lot of shares and likes on his page. While I was happy to see my shot do so well, I was saddened by the fact that all those people who liked my shot, wrote back comments and shared the pic didn't know that it was my creativity, and not his. Inspite of my polite request to give me credit for the shot that fellow didn't oblige. Finally last week I took the tough decision of complaining to Facebook about violation of copyright, and within hours the photo was removed. And with it all the shares, the likes and comments had also vanished. All he lost was that one profile pic. But I lost a chance of getting recognized by all those people who liked my work and shared it unknowingly :(
In view of these events I have decided to make it harder for people to crop and use my shots without my permission. Now you know the story behind the watermarks.

Some nice cloud formations appeared at dusk after some storms brought some cooler air to my area of Texas. There was a tornado watch in effect and a severe thunderstorm warning, but we only had some strong winds and downpours as the storms passed.
Se desarrollaron algunas formaciones de nubes muy bellas al anochecer después de que unas tormentas trajeron consigo aire más frÃo. Se habÃa emitido una amenaza de tornado y una advertenica de tormentas severas, pero solamente habÃa unos vientos fuertes y algunos chubascos de vez en cuando mientras que las tormentas pasaban.
South Downs Way Walk - No. 8.
As we walked through the Slindon Estate on day four of our walk along the South Downs Way, I noticed a line of trees on the horizon. It was a beautiful but very hot late summer's day with hardly a cloud in the deep blue skies above. But then I saw this single cloud above the horizon which for me made a simple minimalist composition.
Flying my ultralight airplane in the early morning. Once again all I had was the cell phone to capture this awesome view- my apologies....
This is a typical southern Anne Arundel scene. The irony is that the more people move into the country for these scenes, the more the scenes disappear. A recently built housing development, billed as "country living," attempted to get the neighboring 200 year old farm to remove its farm animals. The animals were too noisy and smelly for the commuters. Luckily, the farm won for now.
(Yes, "clouds" is a metaphor.)
