Moving Clouds

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 29, 2013124 views3 comments

I went out this morning hoping for some nice light. It was an unusual day on the prairie, no wind. There were more clouds then I would have liked. The moon was very near full and giving a lot of light. I thought I would try a shot of the clouds as they moved past the moon. The first time I have tried this. I appreciate all comments and critiques.

I like the streaky clouds and the low horizon. I might have done some dodging in the lighter areas of the clouds to add a bit more contrast to that part of the image, but nice mood overall.

I think the streaking clouds look pretty cool here, Richard. I usually don't care all that much for that look, but here it is what the image is about. I like that you included the narrow strip of land across the bottom.
