Final Approach

[Octane (Humayun)]

Cloudship coming in for final approach, with the Brindabella's in the background.

Nothing special about the image; I just like the cloud and the shape that it took, and thought it worthy enough of the black and white treatment.

My first landscape shot with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM. This lens is sharp.

Hi H,

What a beauty! The dark cloud hovering like some giant flying saucer is the
most interesting part.

Best regards

Gary,

Always lovely reading your comments. Thank you!

I saw the shape of the cloud akin a plane coming in to land and knew I just had to grab it. I might post a coloured version of it; I feel the monochrome is a bit more dramatic, though.

Marc,

It was quickly approaching nightfall; just on the cusp of that time of day where everything loses contrast. I love the lens, it's amazing.

Allan,

Cheers, mate. I've had to concentrate my efforts on these as I haven't done any astrophotography for months. : (

Matey, cheers. Yeah, how depressing, photographing our arch nemesis? : (
