Clouds

[venus (Lydia)]

Hi, there were some unusual cloud formations late yesterday afternoon above my home was hoping to capture a 'sun pillar' instead some 'rays' look interesting still.

Very nice Venus, keep looking out for the sun pilars, they're awesome to see and image.

Nice one Lydia, although i'd prefer to see clear sky

Thanks RB and Iceman, when I observe such amazing phenomena I just want to capture it or freeze time but I'm not an expert with the camera so I don't think I do the image justice.

Im a cloud person too... Cheers Petra

Thanks Petra..... clouds are interesting phenomena these crepuscular rays only lasted a few minutes just like 'sundogs' and 'pillars' tend to, so I was lucky I guess to get thoes shots, had I tried to even contemplate playing with settings on the camera I would have had no chance of capture.

Yes, totally agree - you have got to snap them fast.

I usually head up to our local lookout if there are a hint of cloud in the air in the afternoon to capture some sunset and cloud shots.

I will get the courage up and post a few of my cloud pics after the VicSouth Star Party.

Catch you soon..

Cheers Petra
