Clouds Attack ! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is a picture taken in Soulac, Gironde. A proof of a changing weather in this month of July. Clouds, Sun, Storms, we have had all these meteorological aspects in one day.

For this shot, I've only used Automatic Colour adjustment and the result was this attack of clouds in the sky of Soulac :)

Voici une photo prise à Soulac en Gironde. Une preuve du temps très variable en ce mois de juillet. Nuages, soleil, orages, nous avons eu tous ces aspects météorologiques en une seule journée.

Pour cette image, je n'ai utilisé que l'ajustement automatique des couleurs et le résultat fut cette attaque de nuages dans le ciel de Soulac :)

Tres beau! What a great frame you made! I would like to know how you made it.

snuggleaphagus (4140) 2004-07-19 2:34

I love clouds and this is amazing. Your capture shows so much movement and elegance. The colors are great and the variations of the whites are simply breathtaking.

tuffellow (533) 2004-07-19 2:40

Very nice! Perfect framing, getting the top of the cloud at the top, and the bottom of the clouds on the horizon at the bottom. I'm just wondering why the top left corner is so dark compared to the rest. Was it your lens, or was it at the end of the day?

emralc (172) 2004-07-19 2:43

I like this photo.

jagk (446) 2004-07-19 2:48

great clouds. Nice colors and nice contrast. You can feel the distance between the low clouds and the high wind skatered clouds :)
I think you have used an Polarzing filter, the left corner looks darker as a result of this filter.
Respect

elroyie (2750) 2004-07-19 2:57

This is indeed clouds attack, great frame with very good composition of the clouds and sky, well done!

De quoi rendre jaloux les peintres toujours à la recherche d'un ciel mouvementé.
Une très belle prise de vue David.
Couleurs très bien rendues après atelier.
Merci pour cette photo David.

pridel (233) 2004-07-19 7:40

Très belle photo, votre composition est réussie, les nuages sont magnifiques. cependant moi, je vois des nuages qui fuient vers la gauche et non pas qui attaquent :o)

DonQ (2623) 2004-07-19 9:03

Hey! David you didi it excellent here! I mean it. Very well catched, this beautiful clouds on the sky. I like dark blue corner and colours that goes to very light blue to another corner. Your original is even good. Really yes.
Well done! Tres bien! ;-)
À bientôt, Don.

Un ciel à l'aspect presque irréel, très bon rendu et un titre très bien choisi !

ChrisJ (71614) 2004-07-20 3:37

Wonderful sky & cloud shot. Well composed & nicely balanced.

cyril (2748) 2004-07-20 3:41

Je n'avais jamais pensé a faire une photo comme celle ci mais c'est reussi et le titre est tres bien trouve.
Les couleurs sont belles et les nuages font peurs :-)

Tres joli la perpective de ces nuages,on les devine en mouvement,le contraste est aussi tres beau.J'ai pris plusieurs fois le bac à Soulac plutot que de traverser le pont d'Aquitaine.Belle photo.

dominique (11414) 2004-07-21 13:46

J'aime ce ciel et le cadrage est bien fait ,ne voir que le ciel sur la photo quand celui ci est beau c'est tres intéressant , une veritable attack de clouds .

Jeppe (18624) 2004-07-22 1:31

Very well spotted and captured David - I like the perspective of the shot and many layers.

Laurence (0) 2004-07-22 4:26

Appelle ça "nuages" et tu as toutes les chances de faire un "flop"... transmet ta vision dans le titre et l'adhésion est remportée haut la main ! Les mots et les images sont décidemment inséparables... :-)

Jaku (6806) 2004-07-27 19:02

Nice & sharp.

naxius (16679) 2004-07-28 2:45

Tres belle photo David...As-tu utilise un filtre polarisant?
Le ciel est superbe, la lumiere et les couleurs vraiment bien restitues.
Bravo.

joseelias (367) 2004-07-29 7:57

Simple but very effective photo. That sky is awsome. Maybe some more brightness could create an even more captivating image.

yesterday (9787) 2004-08-01 3:56

Beautiful sky and cloud composition, wonderful light and color.

Great one! Your title says it all. It does give a frightening feeling. Nice artistic picture.

crabmistress (268) 2004-08-13 23:41

Wonderful picture!Love the super bright white cloud against the grayish-blue(favorite color) sky. And the blending light blue and white at the back looks very pleasant.

maciekda (19599) 2004-08-14 4:43

gilad33 (14094) 2004-08-31 8:37

Great!!

bigric (2873) 2004-09-28 19:29

Great shot.The clouds look alive and you feel you are flying with them. Well Done!Bigric.

jbweasle (9307) 2004-09-28 19:35

There are a lot of sky photos around but few capture the colours, contrast and depth that you have in this picture. I hope one day to take a photo that is just half as stunning as this. Well done.

cederico (0) 2004-09-29 14:59

Excellente capture de ce magnifique show céleste !

Janice (4386) 2004-12-08 14:13

Very Beautiful. You looked like you were up high among the clouds. TFS, Janice

santosh (304) 2005-02-14 12:12

Beautiful. The image has a 3D effect. Simple and effective. Very good results of the post processing. Good shot.

quino (693) 2005-02-14 13:04

Wonderful... the best: the composition, with the clouds going in diagonal and the others cluds with different shape... Well done! regards

Albrecht (11271) 2005-05-23 7:40

Hi David

Weel captured, greetings Albrecht

coco (28701) 2005-05-23 9:23

Wonderful sky and wonderful shot. After so critiques, I think that you don't need read more about the photo. Simply fantastic.
Thanks for share.

donluicu (24129) 2005-06-02 3:17

very impressive pic!

blue-velvet30 (6524) 2005-07-30 14:29

Hi David :-)

recepyuksel (17786) 2005-08-02 4:30

Thin radial upper layer of clouds together with low big clusters are splendid. Congrats

capthaddock (28640) 2005-08-02 9:35

Hi David - simply superb, magnificent clouds, excellent work.

danielswalsh (13350) 2005-08-03 2:46

Nice shot David, a real winner here on TE!

Definately one of the better cloud shots I've seen here on TE. Reminds me somewhat of the cloud photos you would see in photo magazines when they are giving you lessons on 'replacing sky'. I know I'd rather have a sky like this in plenty of my shots! Hahaha

Well done,
- Dan

AQeeL (0) 2005-08-17 11:41

wooooooooooow nice capture David i like it alot the light is wonderfull and the way theses clouds .... cand discribe it keep the great job.

sayzey (2358) 2005-09-07 9:23

Wow David, these are some very nice clouds! But what I especially like is the sky itself, how it goes from light to dark as it does, is there any special method you used to capture this, or is that simply how it was?

Well done : )

alekpet (4661) 2005-10-17 5:07

Very well balanced shot, showing the near and far clouds in the same frame.
Beautiful angle and nice choice leaving the ground out of frame.

Take care, Aleks

Giorgio (8930) 2006-02-19 5:04

- Très beau ciel, j'aime beaucoup les différentes sortes de nuages sur des plans bien séparés, elles donnent une excellente sensation de relief, bien vu !

jirivrobel (538) 2007-05-12 9:38
