Dramatic Clouds
September 7th, 2009
This past week we had some weather come through and there were some really nice clouds. Since the Bay Area doesn’t get clouds like this that often I tend to take time to photograph and observe these fleeting formations. The image above is the result of working in the digital darkroom; the use of software to output an interpretation of a subject that I liked. In some of the work I do there is an amount of image enhancement or correction that I do to bring about what I envision as having the impact that I’m trying ot communicate. Then there are other times where very little is done because it’s not required or I feel that a more factual output and level of integrity is best. Having said all that the image below is the image without adjustment applied. For me the resultant image is a valid interpretation, not one out of the realm of reality. The drama is there it just needed a little bit of coaxing to bring it out.(Reminds me of some of the dramatic clouds in some paintings)
