Came across another cloudscape from Elmley Marshes from a a couple of years ago which is worth seeing the light of day - even if it was late afternoon!
englischer garten münchen - landscape in the city.
on this early december day it was very windy and a mix of sun and cloudy sky made the day.
took 2 shots and combined them with hugin.

This was truly one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. I think the three peaks are fairly easy to identify for anyone who lives in the Northwest. My earliest childhood memory is related to one of these mountains...I was only three years old but the ash raining from the sky is still fresh and clear in my mind.
Every summer afternoon, like clockwork, the ominous clouds towering over the the spine of the mighty Sierra Nevada in Yosemite National Park brew a fresh new thunderstorm. Winds blow aghast at the higher elevations, foreboding the impending conglameration of the low-pressure moisture-laden atmosphere, ready to dump its next load into the innumerable valleys separated by granite peaks towering into the sky.
To the average mountain dweller (read the pikas, the marmots, the deers and the bears), this is an everyday occurence to which they respond by heading out to hiding places under rocks and vegatation. But we puny humans (like me) try to seek out the highest point possible if only to capture the flow of water vapor - not an intelligent move!
The motion of clouds is quite mesmerizing. As it swirls and bubbles and expands and contracts and moves across the polarized deep blue sky, it creates patterns that, while seemingly motionless to the naked eye, when sped up under the guise of a timelapse, reveal its true form - an ever morphing articulation that like an amoeba never stays still even for a second. Observing its motion high in the thin atmosphere of the Sierras and trying to capture its fluid advance is something that I am drawn to like a moth to bright lights!
Here are the results from a weekend of shooting in the High Sierras while trying to acclimatize for a peak bagging the week thereafter. These were from two hikes, one to the top of Cloud's Rest in Yosemite and the other to the backcountry region of Gaylor lakes.
All of the timelapses were shot with my Sony A700 and the trustly Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 (in different exposure settings). I shot between 200 to 240 foe each of the 5 timelapses.

Day 262 of 365 - Cloudscape
Day 10 of 50 (50mm for 50days)
I don't do cloudscapes all that often but I sort of liked how this looked. And, I couldn't come up with much else for today :P
Sunset clouds over Upper Waterton Lake from the Prince of Wales Hotel viewpoint on a very windy evening! With a few fast-moving cumulus clouds catching the setting sunlight.
With the 24mm Sigma lens and Nikon D750. Taken as part of a 700-frame motion-control time-lapse.
Something a little different from me today. I have recently become more interested with the structure of clouds and the exciting compositions they can create.
The most exciting type to photograph have to be these cirrus clouds. Their thin, wispy nature gives an artistic quality to basic compositions such as this one.
