September Sky
Focal Length: 55mm | Aperture: f5.6 | Exposure: 1/4000 | ISO: 1000 | Post: CS4
The clouds were the first thing I noticed when I relocated to the Green Mountain State of Vermont from California. NorCal has some clouds, sure and some fog too but neither can hold a candle to the utter awe and dynamic structure the billions of water droplets band together to create above us here in VT. I’m consistently blown away on an almost daily basis, there’s big fatty dark looming clouds, skinny streaky wispy clouds, clouds that look as if a rake had been dragged across the sky and mountainous clouds that billow into pillars that make Everest look like a dinky ‘ol pile of pebbles. I’ve come to make an effort to photograph exclusively on days offering some cloud cover, as opposed to my favored clear blue sky shooting on the San Francisco Streets. The clouds add additional dimension and character, ya dig?
