Nice image, Jim! What format are you using for these shots?
Diane
Quite theatrical!
And I think I see a mirror image …
Looks like the white clouds over the dark cloud bank = the dark tree boughs over the lighter hills…
Jim,
I don't usually feel I need to give you any kudos, since you get plenty (said enviously :D ), but I think this may be my favorite of all your images. Beautiful!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for your kind comments... :)
Diane, I use an 8X10 field camera that happens to always be in my backpack until I find an image that looks as though it could work through my viewfinder. I almost did not capture this image because I had to climb over a few fences to get to a decent location, and it was getting late in the evening, cows were walking along the fence line in a single file going somewhere, blocking my climb, but as fate would have it, I captured two different images once the cows finished marching by my location. I captured one with the cloud as you see it, and one where the cloud formation was dispersed by the unusually brisk winds that evening. For the moment, the first seemed better to print, and similar to what I saw through my viewfinder card.
The leading cloud edge happens to be a Chinook Arch that got pushed away from the mountains, which allowed a few fair weather clouds to form, and quickly dissipate above my head. As a side note, I forgot that I tried a K15 filter on the back of the 210XL, while calculating my exposure, so I bumped up the development time a wee bit to compensate. The K15 positively enhances the clouds features...
Again, thank you.

Another great image, Jim; the texture of the land, and the copse of trees balance the drama in the clouds so well.
Great image Jim, it gives the sense of a fourth dimension !!!Quote:

I've seen some great shots here! Many include some technical detail, but some don't. Those inclined to do so, I wonder if they would mind including the metering technique used in addition to the final exposure detail (shutter speed, f-stop, etc). It would be very helpful to newbies such as myself. This one in particular has me scratching my head wondering.. how?
Love the image.:)
I have a question for Jim Kitchen.....I really enjoy your images, but am slightly distracted by a halo that runs along the horizon line. I have noticed this in several of your images. Is this halo a result of split contrast printing (if done in a darkroom) or an "inverse" manipulation in photoshop? It does not look natural & draws attention to itself in my eye.
The reason I ask, is that I get similiar halos in my landscape photoshop manipullations & would love to learn to reduce it.
Just curious. Keep your great images coming.
Rick
Hi Jim,
Is that a KR15 ? as in orange colour conversion filter?
