This shot is pretty heavily edited but retains some of the colors that we saw this evening. Marvelous end to a less than mediocre day.

even though the focus isn't the best, I love the way this cloud echoes the tree underneath it

East of Fort Collins, CO.

 

Much better viewed Large on Black

this just happened... I looked out the window of my house, saw the clouds, hauled ass to the beach and snapped this moment. I wish I was there about 15 minutes earlier and had my wide angle lens on me!

 

Sorry for the back to back sunset postings... but when you live in a town like this, what can you expect?

Clouds over Monona Terrace.

Lenticular clouds colored pink by the sunrise.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - After my flight took off from Sheridan before sunrise, the plane flew over the Cloud Peak Massif.

In my recent experience night shooting with a full-frame sensor, I've sure learned a lot. One key point I've learned is to be a lot more flexible with the weather - or dare I say, embrace it.

 

In past attempts, I looked for the clearest of nights on a new moon or within a day or so of it. Being so selective though can make it difficult when the 5 day window gives you one good weekend to work with and it ends up being all cloudy. I had to think about those things when renting the full-frame camera and lenses.

 

While a new moon is important, I've learned I can open the window a few days if the moon has set - worth paying attention to. This was especially convenient for these shots as the crescent moon set during my drive up the hill. I've also learned that clouds can be good to some degree. Just like in daytime shots, clouds can add character in the darker hours just the same. In fact, I learned a lot from shooting Mountain Pass Illumination. I loved the wispy cloud up near the top that reflected the light. After having seen a few clouds that night, I wondered what other night scenes could look like if I tried using clouds to enhance the scene.

 

Here we see a night capture with Clinton Reservoir in the foreground and Clinton Amphitheater in the background taken near the old ghost town of Kokomo, Colorado. A beautiful scene on its own, the clouds came in to reflect light from the Climax Molybdenum Mine just over the hill. And that's where I think this image really shines. I loved how the clouds softly reflected the mine's light up to the peaks. All that, and I still got a starry background!

Saw these on the trailing edge of a severe thunderstorm that came through the area. Deliberately didn't crop the foreground so as to give size perspective.

Clouds rising over ridge, New Mexico.

Monday sunrise, gorgeous clear morning

Still busy with the reno but managed to drag myself to a sunrise shoot. Then had to sleep for 3 hours!!!! lol

A few interesting clouds over the last bit of sun at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area.

It was overcast and horrible when I left home on this drive around Wivenhoe - I was pretty delighted with the change in clouds by the time I got out to go for a walk near the dam wall.

Storm clouds are gathering over Lake Constance. It's still sunny but the rain is waiting for it's chance.

Beautiful billowing clouds in the sunshine across the chimney tops

Playing with white balance settings to get the clouds to stand out; subsequently edited in iPhoto (tinted etc.). Explore April 10, 2013 (Highest rating spotted: #57) (In a spell of wanting to regain privacy I lost all the faves, except those by contacts.)

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

One of the paths at Delamont Country Park, looking out towards the bottom end of Strangford Lough. As you can guess, it wasn't long before the rain returned. (map)

 

This is an HDR image combined from seven (-3 to +3) exposures with a Nikon D300 and an 18 - 200mm lens. The images were processed using Photomatix.

For years we told our kids that clouds were made here ..... well it's not that far off the truth! :-)
