Just Chris Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I don't know if this subject has been covered before on this forum. I have a fascination for clouds, weather and similar phenomena and often photograph them, so I thought I'd share a few. At the risk of boring everyone, and not knowing if there is an attachment referral limit or not, here goes...[IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0369.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0370.jpg[/IMG]Both winter views in the Correze earlier this year.[IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0385.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0448.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0591.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0527.jpg[/IMG]Correzian sunsets.[IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0427.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0444.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0481.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0497.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0499.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0424.jpg[/IMG]Thunderstorms over the Massif Central.

Carole Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hi, Thanks for letting us see your great photos. I also love clouds and weather but since my arrival in March I haven't had much chance to get my photography going. Mind you this summer, as you probably know has been nothing but rain and wind and lousy light for photography.I lived in the Philippines until early this year and I must admit we had some wonderful photographic weather there. I just wish I was not such a novice at photography!Hope you get some good winter photos I think it can be a very interesting time for photography.Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Chris Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Thanks for your kind comments - nice to know there are some kindred spirits out there.I can't for the life of me make out a face in the picture you mentioned - I'll have another look with squinty eyes!The photos were pretty high resolution when I took them, so some of the sharpness has been lost by downsizing.

Suze01 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I like taking shots of cloud formations too Chris. Just found this one that I took in June after a storm when I was uploading some wintry photos I did this morning (no clouds around today though - -9.5 this morning!)[IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/Lisleoise/Art%20Shots/StormyJune011.jpg[/IMG]BTW Geordiegirl, I can see the face you are talking about - you're not going mad!

DerekJ Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Chris. I totally agree that a dramatic or interesting sky can make such a difference to a landscape. You've posted some great skies there.Here's one I took back earlier this year at Saint-Cirq Lapopie... the clouds were starting to bubble up.[img]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e170/DerekJordan/Sandbox/saint-cirque1.jpg?t=1195401696[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Creuse Bear Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Wow Derekj - great picture. The clouds look so dramatic behind the town, almost larger than life. Have you been tinkering in Photoshop? A skilled photo either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 That's lovely, Pads. You can't whack a good rainbow to brighten up the sky on a rainy day.

Just Chris Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yes, tres colourful, especially where you can see the secondary arc, more prominently in Cassis's 1st picture.[IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/Khazi22/IMG_0351.jpg[/IMG]I took this one through a train window whilst crossing Canada.

DerekJ Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks a lot BCB and Colin. I'm glad you like it.Has it been Photoshopped... well, yes in the sense that Black and White points plus colour balance have been adjusted and contrast increased with a bit of an S-Curve.
