Alien Clouds

Alien Clouds

Ross Bay, Loch Lien, Ireland

I saw the challenge in the Woman Photographer, and could not resist putting this one in. This was an HDR shot (7exposures (+/-3EV). There has been no photoshop manipulation, this is just as it was. The clouds looked just like like alien spaceships.

    They certainly don’t look real do they Anna. Well captured.

  • Anna Shaw replied

    Hi Geoff, – no I even have to ask myself – ‘did I hotoshop it’ – but no, honest, I didn’t!! This is just as they were. I half expected aliens to drop out from the bottom!
