Well, this was fun! We have a full moon only days away and it was on the rise as a brief rain shower passed over us making the early evening sky light up with all sorts of fun colours! 😍
You know that intensely bright white that you sometimes get with clouds when the light is just right? I don't know exactly what conditions are required but it's awesome when it happens 🤩
So for this, my first cloud contest entry ever (insert excited "woooo hooo" type sounds here 🤸🤸♂️🤸♀️) I used my partner's phone as his camera is soooo much better than the one in my phone. One of these days I'll have to actually buy myself a really nice fancy camera! With a zoom! But I digress, back to those clouds.
So we had enough light left in the day to take some photos ✅
We had some clouds (that's helpful) ✅
We had a rather large, gorgeous looking moon to add even more beauty to the mix ✅
We had a decent camera ✅
And we had a willingness to stare at the awesome clouds long enough to pick something worthy of a contest✅
Excellent! All the ingredients necessary to make a grand entrance into a new (to me) contest, in a new (to me) community!
So, without further ado, I give you clouds!
Here was the original shot. I took several at different points on our walk but this was the one I liked the most.
I'm not exactly an expert in photography at this point but I know enough to see if I can frame the shot somehow. So that was my intention with the gum trees on the bottom and the palm tree on the right.
Then I started messing with the colours.
I wanted to see how many colours of the rainbow I could make out of the very same shot.
I must admit adjusting things like the tint, warmth, saturation and exposure was a little unfamiliar to me. If I ever change colours in photos I tend to it with pre-set filters inside apps like Insta or Canva, rather than doing it manually.
But I was willing to give it a go and see what happened. I decided to treat it more like a creative art project than something I had to get "right".
And these were the result. What do think?
My favourite of the lot is third one down: the bright blue. Why? I'm not exactly sure, maybe it's as simple as the fact that one of my favourite colours on the planet is blue? 🤔 Maybe it doesn't have to be any more complicated than that 😊
This is my entry into the Love the Clouds Contest #139. That handy, dandy link there will take you to the post that tells you all about it if you want to join in the fun too 😁 At the time of writing you have somewhere between 24-36 hours left to jump in!
Yay! 🤗
