Like I mentioned on the other photo, I've been working with some post-processing techniques that bring out colors in dark photos. This photo is entirely lit by ambient moon light, lighting from the clouds, and lightning bugs.
This shot is post-processed and I blogged about it here
I know,that this is nothing special,plus I took it with my iPhone,but somehow I still like it... it's the clouds,the colors... I can't really explain... not the quality for sure,lol
We were in rush on the way to the train station & simply had no time to take my camera from my bag,which was in the back of my car... yet I'm fed up missing beautiful moments for all kinds of reasons... :)
These are Series of shots taken of a big Thunder Storm over Sydney a few weeks back. Initially I planned to make this a panorama of these 4 shots, but I must have been on something when I took them, because they really didn't match... Probably just overwhelemed by the specatacular sight.
I dramatized the clouds in the HDR process a lttle, added a bit of contrast and desaturated the colours a little.

Mammatus clouds are some of the most unusual and distinctive clouds formations with a series of bulges or pouches emerging from the base of a cloud. The shape of mammatus formations can vary widely; from the classic protruding shape, to a more elongated tube hanging from the cloud above.
Cumulonimbus clouds are also known as thunderstorms, these clouds are huge and often unstable. Mammatus clouds often form on the most unstable cumulonimbus, meaning that there is also a chance of hail, showers and lightning in the vicinity. Sometimes mammatus may form on other cloud types which produce no rain, though this is far less common.
Mammatus comes from the Latin mamma which translates to "udder" or "breast". Their striking appearance is most visible when the sun is low in the sky and their pouches are framed by the sunlight. This supplementary feature is a firm favourite with many meteorologists and cloud enthusiasts.
I was out with a friend for a photowalk for the first time in... well, over a year I guess.
Turned out better than expected I think, and I've got more coming!
The last of three. May the light of this new year bring forth warmth, abundance and and clear sight in this time of great change. This beautiful star of ours provides us with all we need. Let it not blind us to the equally powerful Darkness. Please dress in black. Peace.

Hero's Odyssey Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Here's how I do it:
Print: Fuji Crystal Lightjet Metallic front-mounted to 1/4" Acrylic.
Acrylic: 1/4" with regular polished edge
Backing: White aluminum 3mm
Hanging Mechanism: Silver aluminum float box
I'll be using the top-of-the-line, museum-quality gallery format consists of the highest-quality prints on Fujicolor Crystal Archival Paper, front-mounted to UV-resistant protective acrylic, backed by a solid aluminum sheet, and fastened to an aluminum silver frame "float box" for mounting on the wall.
Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Homer's Odyssey: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide. . . Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; --Homer's Odyssey translated by Samuel Butler
