Title: Then There Was Light... Post by: martinastro on October 13, 2009, 11:06:45 pm Sorry, couldn't think of a decent title so that had to do. Took these images on the 12th using the 300mm lens to zoom in on nice structures within the sunset clouds. A gap opened and filtered sunlight broke through to create this nice smoky/foggy feature which I thought was really cool.

Post by: rjgjr on October 13, 2009, 11:54:38 pm I think that's a great title, or maybe "On the first day, God created....". Those are beautiful images Martin. They look almost 3D or HDR. Good job!!

Glad you liked the images, they are straight off the camera with no adjustments made, but as you said, they do have a HDR look about them. Title: Re: Then There Was Light...

The smoky regions almost give the impression that the clouds are on fire and I like the overall colour cast too.

John C, I'm not sure what caused that shape to be honest. There where three different cloud types at the time ahead of a weak warm front which I could see moving in from the NW. Cirrus was near the horizon, alto cumulus higher up, and at middle was that strange stratus-style structure which had numerous wave-like forms and thin linear streaks. I can't add much more than that I'm afraid. Title: Re: Then There Was Light... Post by: Roman White on October 14, 2009, 06:19:48 pm Wow Martin! That is a great title btw, and the images are AWESOME! :)
It looks like some kind of ocean/sky abstraction to me. Good framing and superb colours! Title: Re: Then There Was Light... Post by: martinastro on October 14, 2009, 06:55:31 pm Thank you Roman, I'm glad you liked those. Cheers. :)
