Cloud study

I'm not a connoisseur of clouds by any standard, but this sky was a rare mix of cloud types. I chose a a very low horizon to maximize the impact of the sky, but I didn't want it to be too wide-angle, so I went for a middle-range focal length. The photo was made near the interesting city of Langres (Haute-Marne), France. I have been there several times in transit to and from Southern France and there were always interesting skies. Your comments are very welcome.

Wonderful cloud exploration, Vincent! Expressive composition with dominant clouds and a strip of field! Your remarkable compromise also allows you to see some details of the plants plus the pole and wires of the power line at the border of heaven and land. Beautifully done. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Vincent, very well composed. Best regards, Franz

Vincent..I am not a connaisseur either, but I like clouds and thrive on them to enlighten my images which are for the most parts taken repeatedly at locations in my area.These are great and I wish they somehow could find their way here.Bravo for an excellent take!Salutations-Laurent

Hi Tatiana,

 

thank you for another wonderful comment! I let the clouds speak for themselves, I just made the exposure for the photo and pressed the shutter. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Franz,

 

thank you for commenting! I'm pleased that you like the composition. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Laurent,

 

thank you very much for your comments! I can see in your photos that you really like clouds. I'm sure you will encounter skies that are more amazing than this one, although I must say this was really a 'big sky'. Kind regards, Vincent

I like the way this image is layered, Vincent. it looks as if there is no end to the sky and clouds. It gives the illusion that they are behind the ground not above it. A treat for the eyes and mind. Because of the way the image is layered the sky presents itself as ominous and powerful. Beautifully done and presented. The clouds could engulf the ground at any minute. Very impressive work. Best regards, Paul.

Since I was a child, clouds have always fascinated me for their varieties, A good photographer like Vincent could not miss it, ciao Giangiorgio

Wonderful image Vincent. The cloud formation is anchored perfectly by the field giving it a terrific perspective. Well done. Todd
