More Clouds

Clouds 1654_4_6

I love the sunrise time of day!  This was an interesting scenario.  There were high puffy clouds above, which were hit by the rising sun.  There was a lower level cloud cover which was lit by the reflected light from the high clouds.  It was like a light box, in a way.  It produced an interesting light on the lower clouds.

Any morning with clouds makes an interesting shot unless you can't see the sun.  This was a Photomatix series.  The above was made with my Canon DSLR camera.  I shot EC, exposure compensation, -4, -2, 0, +2, +4.  I kept the aperture constant and varied the shutter speed.  This is called HDR, high dynamic range photography. 

Incidentally, I just learned that you can get apps for your smart phone camera which makes it do HDR.  It takes a series of shots so you must try to hold it pretty still during the shooting.  I am experimenting with it and may report later.  Thanks to Dewit Jones who writes a column in Outdoor Photographer magazine for the tip about this.
