Late Afternoon Clouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just walking on a warm late fall afternoon, I found this cloud formation interesting. The coulees edge of the Oldman River looking towards the West Side of the city of Lethbridge. This to give some perspective to the previous posts from the Oldman River and the University of Letbridge.

Howdy Otto,

I miss the Chinook skies! But now have the Atlantic seaboard as compensation... See recent shots.

What do you do for colour and contrast adjustments? What are the tools used?

Otto never have I ever seen clouds in this shape. What is so striking is that the cloud shapes are befitting for the lay of the land in this shot. Excellent capture here. I really like the detailed results that you Samsung produces. Good work here Otto!

Hi Otto,
The cloud formation in the sky has a look of peacefulness to it, the mellow earthy tones of the field just lend it self to shot it would make a lovely picture to hang on the wall, don't you think Otto, in fact I've just had my urban sunset blowing up and framed it looks lovely, do you do that with any of your photos Otto.
Regards Irene

Hi Otto!
Very interesting and nice graphism both on the ground and on the sky, where the clouds are showing nice formation!

Hi Otto,

A marvelous shot of those odd looking clouds. This different levels in green, brown and yellow in an otherwise very flat landscape makes it even more exiting.

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Otto
Good capture of these unusual cloud patterns. The colour of the landscape is quite unusual too. The surreal look is conveyed by the texture of the foreground grasses and the contrast with the rest of the landscape. Good variety across the colour palatte and nice tones. Well done.

oh yes! Love the way the clouds pattern is repeated on Earth. Or is it the other way around?

Hello Otto

The composition and perspective in this photo is great, I particularly like the diagonal the clouds make in the sky.
I feel however that the overall look is a little dark, it might just be that the bright light coming form the right is tricking the camera slightly.
DOV is good, the fading towards the horizon and the buildings in the background works well.
Thank you for sharing.
