ART MONKEY
DUNCE IN GLOVES
Posted by Art Monkey (Salt Spring Island, Canada) on 10 April 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
this is what my view looked like tonight :)
Shuva Brata Deb from Hyderabad, India
There is a lot of grain in the picture. You should have tried with a lower ISO, in my opinion. Since you are focussing at almost infinity, there is also no need for keeping the fstop at 8.0. All my sky shots are generally at the f/5.6, least zoom (may be 28mm or even less if possible) and lowest ISO possible. Just a suggestion.

@Shuva Brata Deb: unfortunately the sky didn't last that long and I didn't check the ISO - I don't mind the grainyness, but I am going to try it a different way tomorrow
@Sylvia: thanks Sylvia :)
@Lazy Aussie: they were :)
@Balpa: pretty incredible that's for sure
Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand
While I agree with Shuva about the technical details (btw I'm still often setting the camera on auto and point and shoot!!), the skyscape works well for me, even with the vignette. Love the colours!!

@Bronnie: thanks for coming to look Bronnie :)
dYe from Cambridge, United States
Evening Clouds! It's a lovely shot. I like the curvature of the cloud formations. Combined with the lighting, it gives a bit of a convex effect.

@dYe: that' right dYe - thanks for coming to look and your nice comments
@ajoeh: thank you ajoeh
@Myst: cheers Myst :)
Sujit from Hyderabad, India
Love the colours and the contrast and the painting like appearance. Agree that a lower ISO would've given you a less grainy picture. But then, beauty lies not in ISO but in the eyes of the beholder :):)

@Sujit: I am going to try a lower ISO and see what happens - and thanks for appreciating the photo anywah :)
Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
I like the colors. Was there anything between you and the sky?
10 Apr 2007 8:58am
@Behrooz: thanks Behrooz - there were treees, the sea and the mountains - you will have a peak at them in my next shot
@KM Faisal: thanks KM
Terry from Keokuk, United States
I like the composition it really moves you through the scene. You caught the richness of the colors at sunset.

@Terry: thanks for looking - and commenting Terry
Nick Passantino from Bronx, United States
this looks almost like a reflection the way the sky curves.. Nice shot

@Nick Passantino: thanks Nick :)
Daroru from Osaka, Japan
I think grain in the shot can work to your advantage; depends on what you want doesn't it? Here it lends your shot a 'painterly' quality, very nice indeed.

@Daroru: thanks so much for your nice comment Daroru
alla from Toronto, Canada
Yes, looks like a painting. Beautiful shot. You think I can jump in there?
10 Apr 2007 2:04pm
@alla: thanks alla - sure you can - but it could be a long fall :)
Jen from Jessup, United States
Absolutely beautiful cloud/sky shot! Love the colors and the sweeping motion.
Evening Clouds!

@Jen: thanks for your nice comments and yes you are right again
Srinivas Koduri from Wheeling, IL, United States
I agree with daroru's comment, the grain indeed gave a painterly effect, which is good in this one. good one.

@Srinivas Koduri: thank you for looking and commenting Srinivas ;)

Brittney from Utah, United States
Fabulous cloud shot, I could get lost in it. I like the grainy/painting effect, I think it's quite cool.

@Brittney: thanks so much Brittney
Roberta Murray from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Nice skyscape! Glad to see someone in Canada is seeing the sun.
10 Apr 2007 10:32pm
@Roberta Murray: thanks Roberta - I think there must be an epidemic of photographers from Rocky Mountain House - well not quite, but you are the 2nd person that I know of from there - do you know amy?
@Craiger: Gracias!

Dornbrau from Colorado Springs, United States
Such a beautiful view. Its amazing that you can ever close your eyes to it and go to sleep.
11 Apr 2007 2:03am
@Dornbrau: it is very hard indeed - but when it gets dark you can't see so much - well, except when there is a full moon :)
@genevieve: thank you genevieve
