Friday Night Light, Part 2

2018-10-20 By Roger Edwards

After the Part 1 shot with the stalwart midrange focal-length lens, I pulled out the zoom camera with its big, heavy metal tube lens, affectionately known as the “sewer pipe”, and focused on the farther elements, reddening with time, but also with distance as sunlight traversed more of the blue-filtering troposphere.   A richly variegated array of mostly high clouds swept across the sky, reflecting different intensities and tones of bright gold to rust-red back to sensors in both the camera and the eyeballs.  It was as if every conceivable subdivision of the field of view was its own unique sky.  Then I let the tones naturally redden even stronger in the distance and zoomed way in for Part 3… Norman OK (19 Oct 18) Looking WSW 35.1814, -97.44

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
