Not another sky!

Man, what am I doing posting yet another skyscape?
Maybe I got crazy since this is my 16th hour in the office today. (But before you start feeling sorry for me please be aware I'm working in our own company with the family - so I'm the one to blame for makin' me work so much. :) Ok, and always the circumstances, the cruel world we're living in etc.)

When I'm stuck here the only thing I see of nature is the sky, probably this is why I'm dedicated to it...

This shot was made on the same day as this one, but a bit earlier and about a km away.

Not even weather would let us go outside nowadays, but for that time I'm desperately awaiting my new Metz 58 flash to arrive, so at least I could make better inside shots during easter.

Thanks for reading through & watching!

Best regards,
Andor

andor,
We all need to take a break and look up on the sky and take a long deep breath to really appreciate every day that we have. We work hard for many reasons, whatever your reasons are. This is a very refreshing image, with the open field big open sky with beautiful cloud scatters perfectly across the sky, across the universe. Simple yet very effective composition. Beautiful and natural color, I like the fact that you’re not trying to push the saturation or contrast up to make the sky more blue and cloud more white. The way nature really is. TFS the big sky. I like the other image too.

Hi Andor,
I like how the white patches of cloud float away into the horizon. The shadown on the cloud patches are giving the picture a lot of depth. The best part like Way said is the simplicity of the picture and probably that's how your mind wants to see things at the moment after a very long day .... "simple". The tree is doing great in terms of holding on to something in the picture.

You've helped me by resolving a situation for me. I have these few photographs with me that have nothing great in them but I just feel good about them and sometimes think about posting them but then there is that thought at the back of my mind saying that it's not a great shot and not really worth it. Now I think I should go ahead and post them just because I feel good about them and that they are unique to me in a different way altogether. Thanks!

Hello Andor,
Take it easy, my friend!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful sky once again!

Hello Andor

A beautiful capture of a beautiful cloudy sky.
The shot is anchored well with the tree on the left.
Very good POV.
The focus is sharp.
A very peaceful scene.

I Love Clouds. Beautiful Clarity here. Nice Compo. I Love the contrast between the fluffy clouds and the flat field.

Hello Andor,
a very dramatic picture of clouds and great sky. Very vast and exciting. Good exploitation of the leafless tree to balance and add excitement to the photograph. A good composition and balanced photo elements.
Nice shot.

Regards,
Foozi
