The Intention is to produce this cloud series around the differing patterns, beauty and awesomeness that I see in sky, and without technical comment.
Recently I started to look more skyward, observing natures ever changing cloud formations that briefly hover above and around my garden. I have, for the time being, become obsessed with what I see in our brilliant blue sky, recon I have taken around 50 or so cloud shots this past four weeks or so.
I am in the path of a predominantly westerly/ south westerly air stream that bringing a variety of spectacular formations across from the Atlantic, many cumulus, cumulus towers , altostratus and cirrus
I seem to preferred clicking at around 10 to 30 degrees above the horizontal, often ‘zooming. For me this seems to created an effect as if from an aircraft,..and some pending storm shots become Nebula like in appearance, but they have all been taken within the 360 degrees confine of my garden,(except of course those shots showing some landscape). I crop some to remove low angle obstructions and maybe too much sky.
Despite returning to work I felt shattered all week. It was raining outside all Saturday night. I went to buy a tin of baked beans so I could feed myself. This is a very sad tale.
Whisp was spun mostly from an amazing handcarded batt from stiletto54 that was made up of soft wools, recycled sari silk, nylon sparkle, angelina, and kid mohair (and probably more). I added in a bunch of extras - 'black diamond' (shiny grey carbonized bamboo) fiber, more nylon sparkle, white angora rabbit fluff, pale blue bamboo, and (best of all) clear plastic from recycled plastic bags. This skein is mostly wool, but there are long sections of the bamboo, angora, and clear plastic.

SOOC challenge
Things I like about this shot are the top right fronds pointing into the frame. I also like the feeling of motion from the stringy ends of the fronds.
Two things I'm not happy with, and one is major. It lacks a clear focal subject. I didn't realize that the sharp thorned branch would steal my attention so much. I also don't like that the fronds on the left intrude into the frame so far. I needed a helper to pull that back just a bit. :-)
Variations on a pattern, created from a single whisp of smoke. Edited in software by adding a graduated colour layer below the smoke to colourise it, then the whisp copied, rotated, etc. to build the pattern. Each variation is simply achied by changing the hue settings of the final image.
This place was a death trap waiting to happen. All of the trees around were dead. One casual matchstick flung haphazardly and... inferno.
From Lake Macbride State Park.
I went on a road trip to Palisades-Kepler state park in Cedar Rapids. I just wanted to do 1 last road trip before it got to cold. I'll defiantely be going back in the spring. I also went to Lake Macbride state park.
