Painted Sky by cjwhite

Painted Sky

It was really windy today and the clouds were constantly changing. There were more dark clouds than white. I captured these late in the day. I'm glad I saw them, because they were gone soon after this.

I used an oil painting effect on this one. It didn't change it a lot, but it did give it more depth.

My two favorite trees to photograph are in this pic. The tall bare one and the big one in the next tree line. :0)

Thank you so much for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's black and white pic!!! :0)
Ooohh. Fabulous capture. Love the composition. Excellent job.

This is amazing! I would think you'd ahve to have some special lens I don't have or understand to get that perspective. haha. Guess not.
November 24th, 2011  
@espyetta Nope, no special lens, but I did use the infinity and beyond setting. I always think about Buzz Lightyear when I use it LOL!!!
November 24th, 2011  
@cjwhite So you just used Manual/Infinity focus?
November 24th, 2011  
@espyetta Yes, I prefer to use the Live settings, so I can control more about my pics. Thank you for your nice comment! :0)
