The Clouds rolled in just as the light had started to die. The light was still dramatic enough and the clouds were sub-par but its what we learn while shooting that advances our landscapes. I'll take this as an experience and keep hunting for my perfect Edith Cavell Shot.
Last weekend I made a nice walk through the "Voerstreek" in Belgium, just over the border with Holland. It did rain that morning, but later it was dry and the sky was breaking open what gave a very impressive sky. I've been thinking to make it b&w but I think my pola filter did a good job here with the contrast between the clouds and blue sky.
Take a look at the map at the right, choose satellite and you can actually see the tree and road I was standing.
This is a lough up in the Wicklow hills in Ireland, the water was very still and it created a nice mirror effect. There were some ominous clouds heading towards us though.
I read this recently, but there is no reference to who wrote it...but I liked it :)
"Clouds represent divinity, pure thought and pure being, emptiness and everything. Clouds are creations of polar opposites existing as one in such a freedom of being they never become fixed in form, just like the flow of water clouds tell us to be free from everything yet as pure as divinity.
Clouds are dreams that make us ponder everything we don't understand but are designed to search out. Therefore clouds are creations way of telling us never to settle in one thing or another because in doing so we become fixed and fixed objects always resist the natural flow of universal fluidity. Be like a cloud, free and in heaven always shifting form and always moving through the skies of infinite space and timeless wisdom. To see and contemplate the clouds is to learn oneself just as it is in all of the elements of nature." ~ author unknown ~
The setting sun. Thought I missed it tonight but the clouds were not all the way down to the horizon allowing the sun to show through a small gap before setting. Settings for this photo are ISO 200 for 1/1000 sec with an aperture of 6.7 at 300mm
A late summer trip to Assisi and we were lucky enough to catch this amazing lenticular clouds as we exited the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi
Le beau temps est revenu rapidement après le passage pluvio-instable de la veille au soir. Ce large voile cirreux occupait 1/4 de la voûte céleste, qu'il partageait avec quelques petits cumulus, ceux-ci prenant de l'ampleur par la suite avec le réchauffement des basses couches de l'atmosphère.
Despite the fact that I've just done pretty good shoots, a sunset and sunrise; both of which produced a pretty darn good pic, i've decided to dig a little further back (only by a day or two!) for today's pic. On friday i went for a random hour-and-a-half drive round the countryside near my folks place, and came across this tree., i'm so glad that the sun decided to hid behind some clouds and give me a nice glow show.
