The Night was Cold But the Clouds were Warm and So the Trees Touched the Sky
I took this photo Friday evening, so I guess it will only exist once every four years.
I liked that the reddish clouds created a warm contrast with the cold blue sky and the grey clouds, and the trees turned out well, adding some additional interest to the image.
Fortunately, unlike my lunar eclipse photos, this one turned out nicely, I think. I experimented with different adjustments in Photoshop, but found that the original, untouched (except for some cropping) image had the best color. A warming filter did look nice, but ultimately I decided on the original.
Notice too how some of the branches seem to be cradling some of the clouds.




I missed the picture it’s March first, the description sounds beautiful.
If you set your computer’s clock back a day, you’ll be able to see it again.
It’s a beautiful photo, very detailed. I especially like that red clouds in the background. What camera are you using?
A 6-year old Olympus digital camera. Not so good on night shots (stars, moons, unidentified objects) but does well on pretty much everything else. Oh, close-ups are a pain sometimes.
