In The Clouds


BC mountains........... I liked how the sun found a way to highlight the clouds and a few of the mountain peaks!

Very dramatic shot, Lea :). Were you up in BC recently?

This image could be made even more dramatic with a bit of levels adjustment to make the whites a little whiter.

Beautiful shot, Lea. Yeah, play around with the levels and see what you get. It reminded me of a shot of some mtns in India I just saw tonite on public tv.

I like the composition. The sky takes over the top center, then you move to the cloud formations and finnaly to the ridgeline. If you do a levels adjustment I would mask the mountains so you do not change those. Good shot

Thanks Eric & Dan. I was playing around with the levels but right now I only have iPhoto for editing so the entire image gets changed (ie. mountains lose a lot of detail :( lol

but I agree - the clouds really *pop* with some quick changes.

Lea,

Nice. The mountains north of the border and in Alaska are amazing. I like your use of the sun just outside of the shot. Was that planned?

oh, hmm.. i dont' think it was planned. i just really loved those crisp peaks and the clouds were so interesting with the sun breaking through and highlighting so many spots :)
