Keeping my head in the clouds

[Ryogenetic]

I have seen some pretty cool cloud formations in the last week figured I would share two.

First up is my attempt with HDR, settings +/- .66



Second is a layers blend of BW and masks



My hope in this endeavor was to catch the depth of the clouds.

Thanks for looking

Hey, Ryo

Clouds are one of my favorite subjects, and I enjoyed these. B&W really broadens the tonal range and contrast potential, and I especiallly like your second image (not sure the border adds anything, though) It has not occurred to me to use HDR for these; I would have assumed the motion would have created ghosting artifact, but you seem to have avoided that. I presume you preset your bracketing to allow you to shoot in very quick succession? Thanks for sharing,

Kevin, I did use a my preset to shoot a full burst. For my camera I will have to adjust for a blown out highlights, as I set the exposure for highlights, but once I blended the shots the image came out very very dark. I am happy you liked them.

Thanks
Ryo
