This one's for my friend, Jim. I know how much he loves cloudscapes. I saw this one last night on my Newbie Meetup. We were walking through the park and the clouds just started to come in.I spotted this one and for once didn't play the walk-up shooter. I actually walked around looking for the best vantage point to shoot it. Most of the time, I see something, shoot it and walk away, satisfied. I've been trying to slow down and actually look for the shot. I think I got it this time.
I had to shoot this one just right because there were a lot of trees in the way. I first thought about shooting it between the trees, but they just didn't look right. Maybe since I'm teaching this group, it's making me slow down as well. I need to practice what I preach.
This was a straight shot in the camera. It was taken just before sunset in aperture priority mode at F5, 1/2000 sec, ISO 400, -1/3 Ev at 55mm with partial metering directly off the sky.
In post-processing I darkened the blue a little bit and added saturation. I also darkened the tree on the right side. Nature did the rest.

Hah! I looked at the pic and thought to myself that it looks like something I would shoot. Then I read the accompanying commentary and got a chuckle. You know me all too well! Nice shot.
Thank you, Jim. I knew you'd like it.:)
