On a cold October morning, low clouds and fog lay along the ground near Lassen Volcanic National Park, while high thin clouds blanket the new day with colored light at sunrise. From a high point on Mount Lassen’s volcanic flanks, this scene unfolded for me from an otherwise uninteresting spot along the park’s main highway. I happened to catch a view of the lower lands below through a clearing and immediately pulled over to watch the light show unfold. I love the layers the atmosphere was creating this day. This image is shot at my longest focal length, 400mm, capturing a small sliver of the surrounding wilderness from afar. I love the ability of telephoto landscapes to condense vast distances into a small frame.
The photo captures a dramatic sky filled with fluffy, white clouds against a vibrant blue background. The clouds are the dominant feature, taking up most of the frame and creating a sense of depth and movement. The lighting is bright and diffused, highlighting the texture and shape of the clouds. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and tranquility.
took a number of shots of this convoluted blanket of cloud that day but very few worked... this one's not bad... I focused on the high light above the local supermarket car park and the bird atop... removed a broad white border from the shot, leaving only a white line at the top of the image...
following supercells in storm chasing is a wondeful experience. This was taken just outside Clayton, NM.
A line of convective storm are seen at the right. Most produced little in the way of precipitation. Cirrocumulus and Altocumulus dominated the remainder of the sky.

Looking at this photo you can’t believe that in 10 minutes that lighthouse would have vanished behind the mother of all fog bank. It was going to be so much better than this. The high altitude clouds were starting to catch the colour of the sunset and 10 minutes after sun retreated behind the horizon they would be ablaze with colour. As a landscape photographer that was my vision I had seen it many times before, but this as close as I came to that perceived view, the sea haar had other ideas. On the way home some 3 miles inland I did see the last of that sky but I did not have the beautiful Lizard Point laid before me. Every picture tells a story.
