Expecting to capture the black and white texture of the bare branches in my back yard I set my phone on the Noir filter. I was surprised when dramatic clouds appeared in the sky. To my eye the sky had a few pale whips not the dramatic swirls and puffs the camera picked up. Which photo is the most dramatic and satisfying?

  2. I love clouds. Have you ever seen the “Cloud Appreciation Society” website? The fellow who runs it calls it “cloudspotting” and has a great sense of humor. Wrote a book on clouds that is very interesting.

    1. Nature’s most fascinating children, lovely poetic turn of phrase! Clouds do make a photographer look good by telling so many stories so swiftly. Happy …now Tuesday.

  8. Wow – quite dramatic. It is difficult to capture such contrast in black and white – speaks well of your artistry.
