The Cloud ( Explore )

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,

And the nursling of the Sky:

I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;

I change, but I cannot die.

For after the rain, when with never a stain

The pavilion of heaven is bare,

And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams

Build up the blue dome of air,

I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, --

And out of the caverns of rain,

Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,

I arise, and unbuild it again.

MUST SEE LARGE .. View On Black

 

I have been researching all week how best to use my ultra wide lens

problem is the highlights are blown out .

and I didn't like using a grad ND .

so I discovered you must take 3 exposures

and then I used Bracketeer to blend them .
