CLOUDS ARE CLOUDS ARE CLOUDS.

[Julian de'Courcy]

Took a wander to regular a haunt, with the little micro 4/3 OM-D. The light is pretty reliable mid afternoon on a day when the sun breaks through on a grey day. A good lot of light get reflected back from the sea, even though this is shooting away from the beach onto the horizon of the land. This spot with this light gives an inky water colour affect to the images. I did use a grad filter and dodge and burn.

I love skies. These are wonderful. I'm sure we all know artists who would go nuts over these. The last one has a beautiful silvery quality. Gorgeous. It's my fav of the bunch.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Yes I agree Rob, love the sky myself and what it offer sup most of the time, and thanks. I guess you are another late or early morning soul. It is a sod when you wake up gone midnight sometimes ,but a great time of day.

Great stuff, Julian. I'm one with an affinity for the clouds as well. I just love 'em when they'r dark and forboding and dramatic. That's the best time for outdoor shots for me. You've captured some wonderful shapes and drama in this set.

 

[David Mitchell]

I like the last one, along the bottom of the image you can see the powerline poles and they seem to merge into the clouds just above it as if they were massive trees

 

[Dave Moss]

Bottom one does it for me there all great though

 

[Pete Askew]

A super set Julian and full of interest.

Thank you Pete,Dave,David,Brian and Glen. Glen not to sure about that when we have a ten day spell of nowt but grey damp wet rain. But yes clouds as a whole are interesting. It is a feature of the outdoors where things change rapidly. It is why beaches are so fascinating, different after every tide. I do also often, when on a beach, think that the folk who stood here hundreds of years ago were sure to be looking at the same scene. Yet as said each tide it has changed, shifted moved a little. Only occasionally in a dramatic way, maybe a storm taking away the sand. but it always comes back with the next storm.

Thanks Paul and Chris. Very much so Paul the more i look at clouds the more intersesting they beacome and the variety with differing light is endless. All unique.
