A friend of mine on G+ has been doing a series of images involving color. The first was ‘I Hear Colors’ and now she is doing one called ‘I Feel Colors’. They are intriguing abstract images involving color from ordinary objects in a very creative way.
Last night, as I stepped outside before closing the garage door the gathering clouds really caught my attention. I spent the next 30-45 minutes playing around with different views of the swirling, rapidly changing cloud formations. I started with some normal (for me anyways) images and then the color series popped into my head and I changed what I was photographing.

Quiet Night
Another view of Oneida Lake from Sylvan Beach. This image is less than an hour from the image in the previous post. I couldn’t decide what to point the camera at that night. I went to Sylvan Beach to try photographing the rides at the amusement park but the sunset kept pulling me back to the lake.

Closing for the Night
After dinner, and the rain, I headed out to the park to grab some sunset images. I managed to come home with a few keepers. As I was finishing up the dishes I noticed the clouds and some really funky light. I went out into the yard to see what I could do with some long exposures. I’ve always liked the way clouds streak in the sky when you leave the shutter open.
My first few attempts turned out OK for the clouds but the foreground was a little too dark. What the heck, might as well play around, digital images cost me nothing but my time. I popped the flash up (yes, I really need to buy a proper flash unit) and tried a few settings. I didn’t want to overpower the clouds so I dialed back on the flash power. A -2EV setting gave me what I wanted.
Not a bad attempt although there was just enough movement in the blossoms to cause a little ghosting. I think it works OK considering the movement in the clouds. I would have stayed out longer but the darn mosquitoes were eating me up!
