The Cloud Appreciation Thread ...

Thanks Donna

It's actually in Brighton. I had this mad idea of going down there one evening with the specific intention of getting some sunset shots. Half way there I realised what a gamble I was taking, bearing in mind how rarely we get decent sunsets in the UK. But as you can see, the gamble paid off - for a good hour the sky was full of the most wonderful colours that were changing by the minute

Natures got a knack of putting colours together which shouldn't really work! But that is one fantastic sky We do get some spectacular skies, but as you said they don't happen that often!!!

The Approaching Menace! this afternoon and yes, you've guessed it was taken from the loft!

 

[marky_h]

That's a cracker! One hell of a good storm, too, I'll bet!

 

[Lady Pitstop]

Lightening, thunder, hail stones, rain then sunshine again! :nuts: Crazy weather!

Just one from this evening - had 5 minutes to spare, and tried HUN's contrast masking technique - great fun!

From this afternoon, first time out with a circular polariser

 

[Lady Pitstop]

Mark - Love the sunset streaks, beautiful colours and light and great perspective and another one - perfect cloud

V6GTO - amazing shot, I've never seen a sky like that. It does look like the aliens are coming

Busby - great panorama and you've caught those rays superbly Looks very biblical

Thanks everyone who has so far contributed but keep em coming

From tonight's thunderstorm - one of the more malevolent skies I've seen - so much so that as soon as the first crack of thunder emanated, the dog turned around and ran home!

Latie - they all look pretty good, have you got larger versions?

Unfortunately, I do not have larger images as I have to scan them into the computer as, I don't work with digital and I do not have a negative scanner yet!
Thank you for the comments; I like your images!
May be you should another thread to do with images from the loft and windows, lol!
