Peaceful time.

Exposure time: 1/410 s; F-number 6.7; ISO: 100; Metering mode: Spot.

Good comp. I might crop out the left side so that the tree/bush is not only slightly in the frame. Also I might have positioned the camera frame to include the bottom of the rocks that are on the left bottom. The sky is good, but there is lack of contrast on the landscape - photoshop or darkroom fix should make it look better. Good job, keep shooting!

What Nathan says: crop left and more space at the bottom. Apart from that you caught some very imprressive clouds!

 

Tom

more than cropping, I would clone part of the bush. Impressive sky!

Love the jet stream (stormphoto.net)

fantastic the sky..seems 3D...!!!!!!!

Gaetan, this one is a little dark on my monitor. May I suggest that you brighten it up and maybe increase the contrast a bit?

 

Cheers,

Thank you Steeve for the information. I have made some improvement of my photo so that it looks now brighter. Have a nice day.

Magnifique ce ciel ! On le croirait en relief.

Much better now! Very pretty scene!

 

Cheers,

Great alto cumul;us patterns matching well with the landscape.. Pity about the poor digital nikon color...

This is probably rather boring to a photo forum, but of great interest to glider (sailplane) pilots. The herringbone pattern marks a standing wave motion in the atmosphere, at right angles to the 'stripes'. ~~~~~~~~ Where you have blue slots are sinking zones and where the cloud bands lie mark areas of rising air. Glider pilots use this phenomenon to gain great height. If you check the aviation weather for the day, you could correlate the wind direction with some mountain range upwind of this sky - end of boring comment ! ;o)

 

My photo shows a similar occurrence, albeit with less moisture in the air. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2158507

Thanks for the info David. Last one I flew had 4 fanjets, and burnt dirty kerosene, so we didnt look for extra lift..

As stated above, the clouds are impressive and certainly worth capturing. To make the shot look better, you could have used a ND grad filter to equalize the brightness. Also a slightly wider focal length (or a step back) to have the rocks in frame full (they would make a nice complement to the sky). And the bush - I'd probably leave it there, maybe include a little more (or less) depending on which would look better...
