Dramatic clouds

Dramatic clouds

Taken in bright sunlight down by the River Swan in East Perth, Western Australia. Much more dramatic as a monochrome, bringing out the layers and texture of the cloud formation and de-emphasising the foreground.

A variation on just looking up – I have a pair of sunglasses that are really useful in picking out clouds that would look good in monochrome – they seem to highlight the clouds in the same way.

Camera: Canon Powershot SX100 IS with 10X zoom lens, 6.0-60.mm, 1:2.8-4.3. Monochrome and sepia adjustments in iPhoto.
