Default Sky....never the same!

Just a few sky shots. I mentioned on another thread that I can never get board of looking at sky/cloud photos. You'll never get the same formation twice!

IN COMING (Manual setting)
Incoming

Camera: Samsung WB500, WB510 / VLUU WB500 / Samsung HZ10W
Exposure: 0.067 sec (1/15)
Aperture: f/5.8
Focal Length: 22.8 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

These next 3 I took with my Fuji Finpix 3500, now replaced with the Samsung WB500. The final picture is more about the feel of the wire than the sky but the way it looks like 2 clouds are closing in around you, I think helps set the mood.

love that ominous black and white image and the last one too for its background/foreground interplay and perspective

I agree with you. You never get tired of watching the clouds and the colors of the sky. It is ever changing and you have captured it beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Great set! I love the colors of the second and compositon of the fourth, though all of them are great. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Very Very Nice! I like your composition and presentation; #2 and #3 are stunning! I do like the B & W in #1 for the Dark Clouds and the great dof.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
