The comment by Jon Dawes (a couple posts above) about the XP desktop put a big smile on my face, thanks Jon and everyone that took the time to look and leave a comment. Thanks again, I really love the craft of photography and try and learn something new about it each and every time I go out with my camera.

how awesome is this!

love the scene, greatt cloud image, well done

great shot, Peter, you exposure and capture of a beautifully lit composition. # of comments says it all, great!!

makes me wanna lie down in the field and stare up at the sky.

Wow, amazing picture, the intense colours are awesome. Did you tweak the colours? I’d love to be able to produce shots this.

Thanks, just a polarizer fitted to my 17-40L lens. Adjusted levels and ran a slight contrast mask at 20%. Cheers

very eye catching and strong image Peter,know this area very well but never had such a cloud formation to make me stop,is it a HDR ?

Beautifully taken , awesome and uplifting, thanks for sharing your art here.

Beautiful! Love the comp, colours, and the dimension to this..

That’s just stunning.

It is amazing! I wonder what it would look like as a brilliant black and white photograph? Wonderfuly beautiful! Keep taking more shots like this!

Thanks for all the encouragement.
To Hans, no it’s not HDR, just the one shot.
Thanks and hope your feeling much now.
Cheers

Love the colours Peter.

Just “happened” to have a camera with me…...psssshhhhhaaaawwwwww…..mate, you have a camera in your hands even more than I do!!!!!!!

Bloody good thing too, this is fabulous, those clouds seem to be standing out so far above the blue its uncanny! This is an absolute winner!

I always thought the bluest skies, the clearest air and the greenest fields were in the
Great Plains where I was raised. Far away from the maddening crowds and traffic.
Guess I need to get out more, like to Australia or wherever you took this. I’m mesmerized
by the beauty of this picture.

Holy moley that’s gorgeous!

a really lovely photo the clouds are 3 dimential and are so white congratulations

Truely awesome

such tremendous depth in this image – you can almost feel you can step into it… great work!

Nice one Peter. Good title too.

Lovely!

Wow – this is a stunning image great composition and lovely colurs. A fantastic shot!

subtle vignetting, blue/ green color scheme, spotty clouds and wonderful use of HDR!

this is about as close to nirvana as it gets! nice work, Peter!

Hey thanks so much. The sun was coming from behind and to the left, ideally positioned looking in a Easterly direction, with a ever so slight Northerly aspect in the late’ish afternoon light of day lol

Forgot to mention also, there wasn’t any HDR processing involved in this shot. Slight curve adjustment, High Pass greyscale sharpening and a small amount of vignetting to the corners. My lens was fitted with a c/polarizer, thats what made the clouds pop.

I just LOVE your skies – this one is so lovely

just read your response to my last comment, Peter…

wow, no HDR on this, then? Haa, makes it all the more impressive! :)

Excellent shot. Nice colours. Love them clouds. Did you have a polorising filter on???

WOW!
