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
VERY painterly, love the sweeeeep of it all.

@Sylvia: thanks Sylvia :)
nice clouds
10 Apr 2007 2:38am
@Lazy Aussie: they were :)
very nice colours
10 Apr 2007 2:41am
@Balpa: pretty incredible that's for sure
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 :)
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
I like the color and vignette effect.

@ajoeh: thank you ajoeh
Beautiful! Looks like an oil painting!
10 Apr 2007 3:24am
@Myst: cheers Myst :)
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 :)
I like the colors. Was there anything between you and the sky?
10 Apr 2007 3:58am
@Behrooz: thanks Behrooz - there were treees, the sea and the mountains - you will have a peak at them in my next shot
nice one

@KM Faisal: thanks KM
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
this looks almost like a reflection the way the sky curves.. Nice shot

@Nick Passantino: thanks Nick :)
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
Yes, looks like a painting. Beautiful shot. You think I can jump in there?

@alla: thanks alla - sure you can - but it could be a long fall :)
Absolutely beautiful cloud/sky shot! Love the colors and the sweeping motion. Evening Clouds!
10 Apr 2007 9:31am
@Jen: thanks for your nice comments and yes you are right again
I agree with daroru's comment, the grain indeed gave a painterly effect, which is good in this one. good one.

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

Nice skyscape! Glad to see someone in Canada is seeing the sun.

10 Apr 2007 9:03pm
@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 :)
