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?

I like the bottom one best. The top one has one of your “UFOs.”

Oh you saw that! It’s a flare from the sun at a right angle to the lens. But UFO is fun too.

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.

Clouds are one of nature’s most fascinating children. Your images demonstrate their versatility, and how they are suited to monochrome. Happy Phoneography Monday.
