Thanks, gents.

Hey, Greg. Cheers. No, this is just a crop from the full frame, in 617 format.

At that time of day, making multiple image stitched shots is a really tough task as the light is so rapidly changing.

I do have a professional Manfrotto panorama head but I have never used it. I need to figure out how to calibrate first.

Cheers!

Same cloud, different lens, different time, different approach.

That lens is ridiculously sharp -- note the individual trees on the hills.

Here's a sunset cloud scape for you, taken last August. It looked like the clouds were on fire.

I've gotta say, I'm kinda torn. When doing photography, I really really want clouds otherwise it's usually a giant failgoat and not worth getting up at 3am for. The usual morning rant starts with "Wouldn't it be epic if we got there and there was orange and pink ripple clouds and dolphins swimming nearby and unicorns on the rocks..."

Of course that usually never happens and half the time we get there to observe the thin sausage like bank of cloud on the horizon, unmoving and uninspiring. I dub it nugbank.

But then astronomy makes me want to chant "clewd disappear" until they all bugger off.

Needless to say, I do appreciate clouds quite a bit. They can make or break a shot. Usually everyone is saying "What a lovely, sunny clear day." And I'm like "NOOOOO, bring back the clouds! What a c***p day!"

Without that floating cloud, that image wouldn't work.

We get some pretty ones up here, particularly in February.

Oh my H, I am cloud envious!

Oh, hey, you! It's all pretty crap at the moment. Drab and grey.

You guys still heading to Tassie shortly? I'm thinking Pacific-Northwest in June. :O

Cheers, as per always.
