another cloud picture...

Posted by Kathryn (Warburton, Australia) on 29 November 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

i just couldn't resist!! They fill me with such wonder and excitement!

This was taken just after a storm passed over two days ago - it was an amazing afternoon with many thunderstorms and awesome cloud formations but unfortunately none of my images really turned out except for this one and even then I accidently had the iso and exposure functions set wrong so it has turned out more grainy than I would have liked. oh well still a great time was had chasing the storms on my rambling trip home from work!

Thank you all so much for your lovely encouraging comments. I am getting quite busy and am finding that i don't have a lot of time for both photography and maintaining this blog as much as i would like to so i probably won't be able to reply to each and every comment from now on but i promise i will eventually get around to visiting your blog! Happy snapping everybody!

Kaha the Kiwi has set off again on his journey around the world to see all of his AM3 friends. Keep up to date with his adventures on his own blog here. Safe travels Kaha and i hope you have a ton of fun!

Thanks for viewing my photograph!
All feedback, especially constructive criticism is welcomed and very much appreciated. Enjoy your day!

Hay Kathryn, promise me you will never stop giving us clouds!!! I LOVE them too and so I can quite understand you fascination and wonder:-)
I LOVE it:-) There it is...just gliding along quite quickly I think, whilst the other clouds are slow and create the backdrop!! See, I'm just as excited by clouds LOL:-) great shot!!

@Linerberry: ok i promise...but you may wish i hadn't - i have literally hundreds of them! haha. I am so glad that you are passionate about them too! I guess i am just not as confident with posting cloud pictures because most of my friends think i am nuts constantly looking at and photographing the sky! Thanks for your encouraging comment Liners!
