Winter Clouds
This image proved to me once again that regardless of any post editing one may or may not choose to do, it's really all about the light, the composition, the photographer, or a combination of all three. Two days ago I was out running errands, and decided to take my camera and tripod with me....just in case. After the errands I drove up to a local ski resort, looking for a photo op, but there was heavy cloud cover and everything looked dull and gray. Sometimes there's just nothing worth shooting. Coming home, just before sunset, the clouds began to break up so I decided I'd drive up a canyon which is about 15 minutes from where I live. Just before the sun went down, (behind the mountain on the right), these low lying clouds were lit by the rays and put on a beautiful show that was ever changing as they quickly moved across the sky, changing formations on their way. I especially love the little cloud on the left, lit up in front of the mountain. On the high resolution version, this looks very 3D. No editing program can do what nature does!
