Thread: Cloudscape and others

    Re: Cloudscape and others

    Since we are all sharing our cloudy little secrets. These were shot at Hayle in Cornwall with a point and shoot using Wirevixen as a tripod and stretching a ferrets stomach lining over the lens to avoid glare. I dressed in a black basque with fishnet stockings and waders and put a Barbie beach towel over my head. No technical reason for this. It is just the way I dress when on holiday. I did think of putting my welding goggles over the lens but I had left them back at the studio follwing a rather hectic shoot involving a womens rugby team and a herd of wilderbeest.

    All kidding aside, though, #2 just strikes me. What a perfect moment. Beautiful

    You are wicked Steve. Great dramatic shots. I like them all.

    I'll add this one - not as dramatic.

    Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! You should really try it. It dramatically changes the picture. You might get a stare or two, but it's worth it! [:

    Here in Texas, there are great views of the sky and here are a few I shot from my back yard:

    The Cirrus clouds were just right with the Sun illuminating the rainbow parhelion:

    Cloudscape and others

    and about the time when the Discovery Channel crew were off chasing tornados, this storm kept nice distance for this photo:

    Cloudscape and others

    This was shot last Autumn on the Brazos River with a view into the light:

    Cloudscape and others

    ( The tripod was actually standing in the water to get this view. )

    Li'l white tornado cloud

    Not very dramatic, but I had never seen a cloud like this before.

    No really. The Wilderbeest insisted on wearing 6" killer heels and that played havoc with the lino.

    OK, OK, beat this for a bad attitude cloud...
    Just another Saturday night in Port Talbot I see. Great shot Rob and I love the ships bones in the foreground.

    Not very dramatic, but I had never seen a cloud like this before.
    Wendy, are you sure you don't live in Never Never Land?
