Today 21-4-2021 H-Alpha Cloud Rushed Session

Post by rcwinter »

Hi Everyone

Well the cloud has been rushing through all day but was better this morning, so I had play with the time I had

Apart from the cloud the wind was up, which helped with local rising heat from the local buildings but the view was very unstable

However I was just glad to be able to get out and have some fun as it has been an interesting last few months

Hope they come over ok, not as many as I would like but

I had a little play with color and added a false palette to them, I would be interested to hear what people think, if the palette works or not

I personally like them B&W as it shows the contrast better but i am open to thoughts and suggestions how to set it, as I said just playing at the moment

Kind regards

Richard

Another "cloud rush" Richard, but you certainly have captured some excellent images.
The colouring is fine too.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Everyone

Well I will give it another go today, the sky is clear, without trying to judge the cloud waving at me as it goes by.

The cats will follow down to the garden and go adventuring,

They did make me chuckle a few days ago as I have a roll off roof obsy, took me by surprise when I looked up and they were
sitting on the apex, deciding if they should jump down using the scopes as a spring board. naughty boys

Thanks for your comments and Glad you liked the color Alexandra

It a little weird being home on what is normally a working day, however I finished work at college as a lecturer on Friday, still being kept as sessional and now wandering what to do, preparing to get back into industry,

So Chillaxing for the week

Rich

Great images! I hear on trying to beat the clouds, nothing like a little time crunch to add some adrenaline to a session, lol.
