villagefarang Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 While the cloud itself has potential the foreground and overall composition of the shot just doesn’t do it for me. Personally, for shots like this, I prefer landscape over portrait. Not that my shot are any better but I recently posted a few cloud shots in the Chiang Rai forum under Chiang Rai Sky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Those are some freaky clouds, like something out of a sci-fi flick. It probably looks interesting in print as well. The composition is a bit off, probably there was just too much cloud to get the shot right The only way to fix would have been to get further back (or wider lens) or try landscape format as VF suggested. But if there were issues with a distracting foreground, I can see why you went with the vertical. I love storm shots by the way, comes from too much time on the farm back home, watching prairie thunderstorms roll in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kan Win Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi draggons, Super photo really For me, what takes the biscuit is not how the clouds are shown, but the landscape below is shown in the fullest of both the houses, left and on the right hand side are lit up with the electric cables also running between them. Now that is a photo that I would take to my photo printer (professional), frame it and hang it on my wall. Thank you very much for sharing this photo with us. And to all of you, Sorry folks, but as an indifferent landscape photographer as I am, I see it a bit different from you and like it Win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang0tang Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I agree with Kan Win, this photo really caught my eye. Think it is just fantastic how it is. I kept returning to take another look. Great stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I think in this instance it would be far less dramatic in landscape form. With a wider angle lens you could probably pull it off without losing the best part of the cloud, but in this case I think the shooter made the right decision. One thing to try in the future when lacking a very wide (10-20mm) lens, is to take multiple shots and stitch them together afterward. There is free software for doing this.

Sent from my K1 using Thaivisa Connect App Sure agree with you on that point 'cdnvic' and not to Hi-Jack this thread, just left a link onto one of mine taken so time back with an Oly 8080 and wide angle lens. http://www.pbase.com.../50202037/large Nine shots in all and near or abouts 165-170 degrees appox. All taken vertically/portrait to capture the maximum of the sunset and still keep the river in this photo. Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsiam Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You can really shop it up too much and this one has that effect in my opinion.... Could you put the original up ?? Some dramatic changes would no doubt help it....but changing a photo radically from what your eyes see...to something more artistic I do not like....but thats just moi. But great looking storm regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
