Two very old ones from my first year with a DSLR or any SLR for that matter.
This trip was pretty much the start of me going abroad to photograph, before that is was digicams only or even without a camera.

Wow, many great captures.
Jan Anne, now I realize that die Blaue Stunde (l'Heure Bleue) is not only a wonderful fragrance, it is also a magic image.
Here is my contribution: high altitude winds. it is an infrared shot (D70, 720nm filter) taken in the volcano area in France's central mountain chain.

Akira, what a structure in the sky! And the gradient from left to right is so interesting to follow. It flows, which reinforces the feeling that these are actually ripples on water...

Many thanks for the compliment but can easily return the compliment.
I was looking at your image, grabbed a bowl of chips to go with the beer and was still looking at your image when I finished the bowl :)
So many things to look at and appreciate, from breaking the "horizon on one third" rule to make the clouds look more impressive, the waviness of the horizon continued in the cloud patterns, the mountain on the horizon which also has its counterparts in the clouds, the gradual transition from bright to dark, the fence / tree line walking the eye into the image, etc, etc.
All in all I am truly impressed and really enjoyed taking it all in.

Olivier, thanks for your comment. In recent years, I see a lot of peculiar clouds, and this one was one of more peculiar ones. I thought it beautiful but at the same time a bit ominous, considering that the clouds visualize the turbulence of the air.
-
So many dramatic images!
My favorite is a bit the reverse -- a calm, relaxing image along a slow-moving river.

Nature as a brush-painting artist...

Akira - you have gorgeous collection of clouds in urban landscape setting! Beautiful.
Lots of great photos of nature's canvas!
-
This thread has really exploded! :D I am glad you guys are cloud lovers as well, I am enjoying the images. Keep em coming!
-
I agree with Tristin! Phenomenal clouds! Difficult to pick my favorite.
Jan Anne made some fascinating ones in Sweden (with a DSLR).
Olivier, we all know by now creates striking B&W photos.
Akira, I am going to call you the cloud man :)
Fons, Gary, and BillO also posted nice images!
I can't keep track...

A special sky with a mixed palette of colors just before a thunder storm - it was difficult to capture and post process. Inspired by the ones posted by Akira.
-
Lars, I really like the details of tree and it's branches reaching for the light. Adds a certain moment to the impressive cloud and light.
-
This shot came out a bit split due to some shadows in the middle ground - in stead I tried to create a slightly surreal feeling in bw.

Lenticular cloud - Torres del Paine 2007.

Mike I have never seen a lenticular cloud in my life!
Really impressive!
-
Jakov, thanks for kind words!
Mike, this is truly spectacular!!! I love the "chromatic aberration" seen at the edge of the cloud which makes its name so fitting!
-
Mike I have never seen a lenticular cloud in my life!
Really impressive!
Thanks, Jakov. It was impressive - it seemed that we were right under it. I believe that it was formed by the nearby Cerro Paine Grande (about 2,900 metres).
Mike, this is truly spectacular!!! I love the "chromatic aberration" seen at the edge of the cloud which makes its name so fitting!
Thanks, Akira. I imagine that this was formed by ice particles. Your cloud images have inspired me to look skywards more often!

Nice catch, Akira - like mini lenticular clouds! I like the colour transition from red/orange to deep blue.
Were these clouds from the Japan Alps, carried over Tokyo by the prevailing westerly winds?

Thanks Akira. Your cloud shots are gorgeous. Last one particularly shows vast world above us.
-
Akira, I like the the color treatment and composition of this last pano, and it's set at a good level of darkness.
-
Keith, thanks. I wanted to retain both the dooming feel and those partial reflections of the sunset color. So, I'm glad you pointed out those.

Nikon f, Vivitar 20/3.8, Velvia 100. The lens is not critically sharp (nor, it seems, was I when I shot this), but something about the contrast and color balance pleased me.

Mongo used to keep a folder full of cloud images for blending purposes until that file was lost in a hard drive failure. The two images below have blended clouds from other images photoshopped in.
#2 required a little bit of work to get the position, colour and level of transparency in the water as close to what it might have been that Mongo could imagine.
Mongo is aware (in advance) that a lot of you frown upon this practice. So, let him say he understands and appreciates your point of view without getting into a debate about it. Also, Mongo does this blending for fun and not in any serious photography.
-
Nice cloud series Akira
Stunning results Mongo !
-
Thanks Armando. Very much like your striking image. Nice collection Akira
-
Thanks, Armando. Love the light and the atmosphere you captured!
Thanks, Mongo. The second image looks familiar and enjoyable. :)

Agree. Like violin strings, Anirban.
What an impressive colour-exchanges, Paco.

Jakov, Jakov, Jakov... ;D
Thank you and Akira and John.
I like the game of planes in Airban´s image. The background as a "no" space reference. As it creates tension -literally also- it makes me play with different orientations on my head. They all seem to work.
-
Thank you Akira, John and Paco.
Paco, your shot shows nature's palette can be more colourful than anyone can possibly imagine. Great capture.

Sometimes it is more what sensations are evoked or observed than the object in itself.
-
Bjørn, the red is stunning. I don't think the sky would turn red in such a highly saturated way here in Tokyo. I wonder if it is caused by the lower angle of incident light in the areas of high latitudes?
-
Akira, it's easy to capture red clouds in such a manner when you own a red Peugeot :D
Lovely image Bjørn!
-
Jakov, sorry for my belated response. Okay, I will look for a red car whenever the chance arises. :)
This was shot on July 31, but the "Daily Updates" for July is already locked. So, I will post this image here. The placement and the shapes of the clouds are the main interest of this image, so it should deserve here. 13-stitch pano.

From a recent holiday!

Hi Mike, I love the repetitive patterns on this image. YMMV, but for myself, I would crop off maybe 5 to 10% from the right hand side.
-
Hugh, I did consider doing just that but I didn't because I wanted to keep a bit more blue! But I hear what you say.
-
clouds with bird, sunset
-
Ominous clouds. Lots of exaggeration of micro contrast (clarity slider of CC2015.5.1 at 100%).

Mr Cloud strikes again :)
Mike made a nice one too!

Thanks, Jakov! The cloud was seriously ominous... 8)

Was the "cloud appreciation society" mentioned here before?

Akira, nicely seen and well captured!
-
Frank, that bird for scale makes the shot huge.
Akita...super. Ominous for sure. The size and tone of the colors works very well. That spot of yours have many faces.

Jakov, Mike and Paco, thanks!
Frank, yeah, someone would have had to say that. :D

A cloud sketch. B&W film roughed up in scanning.

While the sun was setting yeasterday evening I noticed the sky almost caught fire. I grabbed the nearest camera that happened to a UV converted D40x and a 135 mm. When I discovered the "mistake" it was too late. The result was somewhat strange as the sky turned out purple. A white balance adjustment gave a fair result with regards to the colors I "saw". Im not sure what wavelengths who got recorded.

Keith, this is quite peculiar and interesting. Sort of lenticular clouds?
The clouds were constantly changing. This lenticular-appearing phase was just one moment along the way. They look like they were being acted upon by strong winds at cloud altitude. Winds were present but mild on the ground.

I love clouds. So naturally, I really like this thread. :)
My picture was taken some time ago at the harbour of Scheveningen, Netherlands.

Susanne, I like the play between the soft clouds up top and the hard, sharp shapes at the bottom. The grayness brings back memories of moody B&W printed on photogravure.

Thank you, Keith and Lars! The sky did look quite spectacular that day. What surprises me is that the sea looks relatively calm in the picture, as it wasn't so calm in reality...

Color phenomenon, presumably caused by the clouds:
First, as the D800 exposed it, then brightened up for viewing.
-
Keith, the beautiful iridescent clouds are well captured. The "dodging" utilizing these peculiar trees (or cacti?) works great!
Not just the clouds, I love the whole image.
-
Thank you Akira. The rainbow colors weren't visible to the eye, due to extreme brightness and glare. I could see a hint of them on the camera LCD display.
This part of the Mojave Desert has a lovely sparse distribution of surface features and flora.

Phenomenal clouds, Joost!

Today, the fireworks started early and lasted all day :) Unfortunately, I was only able to take a few snapshots because we had to locate and rescue a dog from a cliff before the real fireworks started. Happy new year to all of you here on NG!

Joost, Akira, and Borge: Outstanding additions to the thread.
-
Keith, thanks!
Børge, these are fascinating and spectacular images. Are these iridescent clouds?

Yes, it is iridescent clouds. They were visible yesterday for a short while, but today they lasted the whole day. When it was an opening in the cloud cover of course :)

Great shot, Keith. Impressive structure of the clouds, and the fisheye works perfect here.

Following Bjorn's image, here is another cloud reflection on calm water during sunset.

A contrast to the tranquil setting of a sheltered forest lake: thunderstorm building up over Oslo. I shot before the clouds broke open in a massive downpour with thunder and lightening all around.

The spectacular clouds contrast well against the "mundane' city. I'd make a print of this one.
-
This a bit brighter than it looked in person, but I had to make it visible!
Glad you did - impressive!
-
I like your representation of scale. The clouds a magnitude and them some bigger than the man made buildings. Effortless magnificent. Strangely calming effect of looking at your image. Being a pano with so much information I will follow Pluton advice and print it. Big
Thanks for sharing your clouds!
-
Keith and Paco, glad you like it! The original 16bit tiff file has a little over 100MP, so the data is plenty enough for a large print. The problem is to find the place to hang in my typical Japanese rabbit hutch! :o :o :o

Another image of snow clouds...
-
Iridescent ("mother of pearl") clouds. Not very common, they are formed at very high altitudes in the atmosphere.
-
Impressive. Apparently such iridescent clouds can be seen only at both high altitude and latitude...
-
A Lofoten mountain enshrouded in clouds. At high latitude, but definitively not high altitude ... Perhaps the combination of low sun elevation and wet clouds caused a rainbow-like refraction? Never seen anything similar either before or after.
-
Last few photos just raised the bar of this thread really high. They are just phenomenal, Bjørn. Amazing to see how colorful our nature is.

And now for something a little dramatic. Lightning inside an impressive storm over the Tucson Mountains.

I cannot imagine how big the mountain seen at the bottom is, but the need of the frames for the stitch seems to suggest that. The clouds should look overwhelming out there.

Nicely caught, Akira. I had a grandstand view of that spectacular sunrise as we flew into Haneda at around 4.30am - it was quite something, but it was soon absorbed into the haze and clouds of a very hot, humid day!

Trying and succeeding. The clouds get to be more than clouds here. There is an apparent purpose in what they are doing. Do they do this kind of thing often for you?
Thanks for the magic!
-
Paco, thanks! I'm not sure how often, because I would have to spot it to capture. It's like the inspiration!

Shot a few days ago but have forgot to upload. :o 2-Stitch pano.

I don't know why but during my last visit in Germany, I was obsessed with shooting clouds. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me, so had to make do with my phone.
-
Susanne, When seen big on a monitor, the aggressive processing of the phone cam imparts a pleasing, almost brush stroke look to the clouds. I wish the phone cams had a control to dial down the sharpening a bit.
-
Keith, thank you for your feedback. I'm afraid that I am to blame for the aggressive processing and not the phone cam. I wanted the picture to be edgy, contrasty and dramatic. I might have gone a bit overboard with that. ;D
-
Here's one where I went overboard..."experimental" is what I call it.

By the way, I found that the gravity sensor was hugely affected by the acceleration and deceleration of the train, and the integrated electric level became totally unreliable.

Sorry about the water mark.

Did a little less crop and changed the shade of gray a bit on the watermark.

Does anyone know the proper name for the flat-top cloud in the second image?

Thank you, Arthur. I thought that there would be a special name or term for this flat-top clouds, but apparently it is just a variation of cumulonimbus. Would it be just a matter of the condition of the atmospheric layers?

I’ve heard them referred to as “anvil top” cumulonimbus. They are an everyday occurence in Florida during the summer. As to the physics behind their formation, I’d just be guessing, but they certainly are beautiful and can produce some awe inspiring lightning.
I was thinking of trying to capture some images of lightning and came up with the idea of putting a wide angle lens on the camera with my darkest neutral density filter attached. Set the ISO as low as possible. Manual focus at infinity. F stop of f/12 to start out, set to aperture priority. Camera on the tripod. Then take images one after another until I catch the image of a lightning bolt. There is a park nearby and I can do this from under a covered pavilion which has open sides. If the storm gets close, I’ll leave. Any thoughts as to the set up or perhaps a better way to go about it?

Anvil top (or incus), yes! I've forgotten about that. Thank you for the reminder!
The growth of a cumulonimbus is blocked by the tropopause (according to wiki) and cumulonimbus started to spread horizontally, which creates flat top.
As for shooting the lightning, I've found this interesting device sometime ago (the explanation of the way it works is also very interesting):
http://mkcontrols.com/lightningbug/
As we have fair amount of lightnings here in Tokyo, I've been interested in it. The problem is the way to protect the camera from the rain...

Oh Akira!! I would so much love to visit your country, as a fact it has been on my travel wishlist some time now, I think it started around 88/89 when the F4 was launched, I’ve been more in distant love with Japan than anyplace. But yet to visit..
Is it expensive to get a decent/ok hotel in Tokyo?? Could you show me around town if I decide to come in the «near» future?? It would be so nice to meet you too, you know!! I hear autumn is a very special season in Japan, is that correct? Or what’s your favorite season?
Japanese people (of the few I’ve had the pleasure to meet) are so friendly and easygoing! Are you one of these?…😁😆

Please show me some images of Tokyo, either in a thread or in a PM!?

Btw,
You’re of course welcome to come stay with us in Norway, whenever you like! It would be our pleasure to show you around!

Patrick, thank you for kind words. You will be more than welcomed! Actually, I have met some members of NG in person when they came to Tokyo: Bjørn Rørslett, bobfriedman, davidpatterson, Mikes, Mongo, atpaula (to name as displayed here) as well as other guys whom I've got to know in other forums. We've spend great time.
Just like other countries, there are different people, from right wing radicals to left wing radicals (LOL), I hope I don't belong to either side. :D
I've initiated some post regarding various scenes here in Tokyo over the years. Hope you enjoy them:

@post 419: Keith, this is fantastic.Enigmatic and hypnotic. Pulls me in with the promise of a mystery. If this comments dont´make much sense is because it is difficult to express why appeals se much to me.
Thanks for sharing

Zoran, I particularly like the combination of colors in your shot 3774a. Paco, Thanks for your comment. I believe you have pioneered the first high contrast, 'litho' style cloud shot in the clouds thread.

Here are two cloud photos I took last weekend. They are the first landscapes I have taken with the D800.
I am showing the out of the camera and the processed images to show the remarkable range the D800 actually captures. Had these not been casual snaps I would have bracketed them because of shooting directly into the sunlit clouds with heavy shadow not long before sunset.
In this first pair I notice a phenomena I have never noticed before where lower clouds cast a strong shadow on higher clouds.
Nikon D800 with 24-120, 24mm, f/4 3200sec, at f/5.6, ISO 400
Processed in Lightroom using 'auto' as a starting point, then adjusting to taste.

I like the overall lightings and the somewhat cool tone in the very first image, even though the dynamic range is narrower than that of the processed one.
-
I also like the rendition of the first one best. The tonal capture range (dynamic range?) of the D800 is quite good. IMO, the days of the 'next new camera' having greatly improved tonal capture range ended with the D800.

Winter brings cool weather clouds like these to the Los Angeles basin. Estimate the deck to be right about 300m/1000 feet, seen from about 400m/1300 feet.

Thanks for the comment Akira, I always struggle knowing how far to push an image, I was so amazed what came out if the darkness I felt I had to reveal it, that together with the clouds.

I like the new edit, Robert. The decision of how much to lift the dark areas is always critical, and I find that I frequently have to to go back several times to make sure I haven't overcooked it---and even then, I'll come back a year later and decide that I've overcooked it. I think this much lightening works well for this shot. If it were mine, I'd look into the possibility of cooling off the warm color in the bottom 1/3rd. As always, YMMV.
-
Robert, thank you for sparing your time to offer other candidates.
Having said that, I still like the very first image. As Keith says, YMMV. Personally, I like the initial image simply because of the degree of abstraction. In other words, I don't expect more realistic rendition of the "landscape" at least in this partiular case, but the interesting interactions of the shapes of the mountains and the clouds. I might want to trim the bottom part of the frame wee bit, though.
-
Thank you Keith and Akira, I have made slight adjustments to the crop and reduced the saturation in the lower third. I am beginning to learn that subtlety can be better than saturation but the judgment is very fine.
It's approaching a picture I would like to hang on my wall. I find that particular locality particularly attractive, in the lower right hand corner is a small farm called 'Hoses', it figures prominently in Google Earth, even at a relatively small scale.
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7867/47068399472_8aef8e571e_o.jpg)
-
Yes, that is much better, Robert, really nice atmosphere is this capture.
(The thing is, if a nature capture like this one gets overcooked, the image looses credibility.)
-
Robert, if you are aiming at a beautiful landscape worth hanging on the wall, the last image IS the one! I love the framing, too!
-
I thought the way to go was two images, one exposed for the brighter, and one for the darker and merge in your editor.
One can fake it by processing the one image similarly for two different exposures and merge likewise,
(my toppence).
-
Robert, this final edit is very nice and might make the best print. After all the versions, the first one, with the overexposed hot patch of sky, still has its charms. Maybe it lives in two versions?

Thank you Øivind, I was so amazed with what Lightroom 'Auto' adjust produced that I went with it.
I have to adjust myself to accept a darker image isn't necessarily bad. I agree on the overcooking, I used to play with images for days trying to extract detail and effect I knew was there but struggled to reveal. The images often looked so overworked and overcooked that having got the effect I wanted I did it over again with a clean file without all the intermediate step to get a much cleaner and fresher result.

Yes, I agree with you Fons, normally I would have bracketed five exposures at .3 stop but I was just having a casual walk with my son on the fells, not really geared up for masterpieces! We are going up again this afternoon, exploring slate mines this time... Who know what I will come back with. ::)
Sod all... :'( I forgot to take a CF Card. ::) ::) ::)
Mind you we did explore one of the mines, unofficially. Enormous caverns below ground blasted out of solid rock. It keep this post on topic, there must have been clouds of smoke from all the black powder used to blast the tunnels.

Thank you Keith, I am hoping to make a print of it, a bit of a happy accident!
One final time... De-fringed, the bright skyline suffered from severe cyan-magenta CA fringing. I ended up having to remove it by hand, the ACR de-fringing left a thin grey, de-saturated outline where the fringes were.

When I was in primary school (more than 50 yrs ago), Mount Etna was credited with a height of 3263 m.
Nowadays, the summit is variously credited: textbooks say 3343 m, google says 3350 m, Wikipedia says 3326 m. Other sources say 3330 m.
Anyhow, in 50 years this volcano has grown by more than 60 meters!

Thanks, Massimo. Yes, this mountain is immense - its hard to appreciate its sheer size, not only its height but especially its girth, without driving around it.
We really enjoyed the wines made on its foothills, especially the delicate whites.

Thanks Keith - I'm glad you like the composition. I wondered if it might be somewhat static or lifeless but my eye sort of insisted on this framing. Yes, I'm still using my X-E1 on a regular basis but this shot was taken with my X-T1 - I found a used but good sample. I prefer the rangefinder style of the X-E1 and in some cases also the colour output from the X-E1 compared to the X-T1. I should probably have skipped the X-T1 and got an X-E3 instead but I was dissapointed that the X-E3 had no flip screen.

Was chasing clouds on a stormy day trying to get to an horizon that was open and had a view I liked as the clouds were forming quickly and falling apart even faster. Saw this - okay - but the storm was unrelenting. Took this snap and by the time I was back behind the wheel of my car, the sky opened up - inundation!

I have added something underrated to my collection; Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E
Must admit i'm blown away by it, it has all hallmarks of what I like in a creative tool that can be applied for so many scenes and really adds signature, not just outstanding sharpness but also butter smooth transitions and wonderful vignetting even though both the rear front elements are huge resulting in soft even Bokeh - Highly recommended!

That’s impressed me is the same IQ from side to side with the 16-50 kit lens
I was so impressed by the scene so I forgot to make some panos, these are crops

To tell the truth, the second image was shot at f22 literally as a "backdrop" to look for the sensor dust, so I just randomly framed. But, when I opened the file, I liked the texture and the color. Some parts of the image turned to be too dark to look for dusts, so it was a total failure, considering the original intention. :D

Thank you, Keith! So far as I'm aware, Sony still offers the "sweep panorama" mode on their APS-C models without IBIS. Also, some Olympus and Panasonic bodies (generally lower grade models) have panorama mode.
A Noblex-, Widelux- or Horizon-style digital camera would be hopelessly expensive because of the cost of the specialized curved sensor. I'm pretty much satisfied with the stitching pano using the almost error-free photomerge in Adobe CC.

Late evening clouds. The "retiro" park was close because of an incoming storm. In the middle of a hot summer day with not a cloud in the sky was difficult to believe. It did come later that day. This was taken short before the lightning started.

Thank you for your compliment. If the clouds were obseved in the northern sky, and the images were shot around 14:00-14:30, we may have seen the same clouds at around the same time. I like the latter two.

In our watershed, we are at "Low Threshold Level 3", which otherwise says, big time drought. As with so many summer days this year, we are teased with thunderheads but no thunderstorms. Today, grey skies in the northwest, produced rising storm clouds like this one but no rain. These things tend to turn on a dime, so tomorrow, who knows?

I was channel surfing and came upon "The Bride of Frankenstein". I was taken by the set of the scene I was watching. Here, I am paying particular attention to the wonderful clouds painted on the backdrop. (this is a scene where a woman from the village unexpectedly comes upon the Monster)
Playing the scene are the delightful Una O'Connor and the indomitable Boris Karloff.
