Hello Pablo !
What an amzing picture ! Just clouds, so simple but so beautiful ! I love all the different nuances of grey, from white to black. Wonderful composition, excellent exposure, beautiful details. I also like your note, I know nothing about clouds and it was very interesting for me to read. Very well done !

Hi Pablo,
It may soud as simple image, but as rare as an extinct species here. I have to search in my memory to remember clouds of any type!
I like this stratocumulus with so many shades of grays ant its typical shapes.

Hi Pablo.
Great exposure to bring out all that detail in those clouds. No blow outs, spot on.

Hi Pablo,
You do have the knack of turning simple things into things of delight. Stunning shot of the stratocumulus clouds with fabulous exposure and blue sky to compliment it perfectly. The formations and colours look awesome and the play of light here is just magnificent. Excellent POV to portray the scene and a superb composition. Kudos.

Hi Pablo,
It doesn't looks to me simple from any point of view. For me clouds are most difficult to capture in the manner you have captured. Excellent details, colors and composition. Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful work.

Yes clouds will do that to you will they not? Nice for you to test out my new camera and filter I just got yesterday. Saturation worked well. I love it...now I can hardly wait till it clouds up again. That is a first.

Hi Pablo,
Simplicity is sometimes best, and you proved it here. The clean composition with just two color tones is very attractive. The dark blue sky from the CP gives the photo a bit of a ominous feel. Excellent work on the exposure, getting loads of details in the cloud.
TFS,
Niek

I've played with this type of shot before. I like it a lot. But I like the tight perspective you've given us, it really emphasizes the wonderful shapes, curves, and brightness variation.

shooting clouds I always found some problems on focusing. You seem to have no problems, and captured very well the light and the shade.

Great notes re: 'alto & strato'. Really means vertical and horizontal.
Pablo,
How observant. Great capture.
Personally I find myself in a pickle when registering "white"; you have "mastered" this art.
Congratulations.
Someday I'll learn too.
Best regards,
Mario.

Hello Pablo!
I see you've graduated in "claudology";-)) I like the rule you've sited about Altocumulae and Stratocumulae.

Of course, your wide dynamic range is unsurpassable - here, where many would have a white "screen" you have so many shades and forms...

Greetings and best wishes!

Hi Pablo, I love the texture on this. It's almost inviting me to jump in there and play with curves, but I won't. It isn't needed. Great colour too. Did you shoot this from a plane, or just high ground?

Thanks, John

Hi Pablo, This may be the simplest image you have ever posted in TrekNature, but what an image, Wow so dramatic really gives you the sense of an impending storm ? Something we are desperate for in south east Queensland we have had no rain for such a long time now. Really nice work Cheers Rick :)

Super three-dimensional cloud shapes and fantastic colours and contrasts in this great picture, Pablo. I thought I had done a good job of clouds myself from the window of a plane last month, but this image is simply extraordinary.
Thanks for sharing it and best regards.

• Evelynn (14454)
• [2007-08-06 11:23]

This ia a nice image of these thick billowy clouds. I think the polarizing effect is a bit too strong. Sometimes it is better to rotate the polarizing filter a bit off of maximum effect.

I love clouds. I used to take and throw away all my cloud pictures, people made fun of me. Now I enjoy them. I finally decided there are dumb people, uninterested people, jealous people, thiefs (they insult my stuff, then steal it), and all kinds.People who love nature, love beauty, love life probably love clouds! Very pretty, good info. I am starting to learn about them. Otherwise on a cloudy day, eveyrone predicts rain, and it never comes...... "it never rains in Southern Califonia".

Hi Pablo,
I love watching clouds and taking images of them. It is a nice cluster you have captured in your image. The bluish tinge looks superb. It is truly a lovely composition and I believe we should share more images of them. Simple but superb.

Hallo Pablo
What a sensational view of these billowing clouds. A photographic moment seen and the opportunity well taken. A well exposed cloud formation. Seeing them develop is fascinating scenery, wondering what will come out in the end, rain thunder or shine. A cloud formation well focused, composed and presented. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your day.

Hello Pablo. The complexity of the cloud is undeniable. You'll never get the same shape and texture twice. Beautiful saturation and the light catching on top of the cumulus is just brilliant. The color of the sky adds contrast to the shot. Nice tall frame presentation and well done. Jusni
