Sky
Jul 31st, 2008 by Juha Ylitalo
This week’s topic in ‘Photo thme for Thursday’ is “SKY (Clouds, Lightening, Birds, Insects, Aircraft, Towers, Kites, Flags,…)”. While the sky sounds quite restrictive the description seems to give lot of freedom for photographers to interpret it as they want.
I decided to look for photograph with nice reflection of a sky. After going through my archives, I selected photograph about Ailigas fell in Kevo hiking trail. One key decision maker was how it shows cloud’s shadow falls on ground. If you would sit down and watch clouds movement on a sky, you would see how shadows follow them. It sounds silly, but it is fun to watch if one has time to sit down and let time pass.
Technical information: Canon EOS 20D & Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM (27mm, 1/60s, f/11, ISO200)
This is a beautiful photograph. I especially like the reflection of the sky and clouds in the water. The small boat is a bonus and add scale to the rest of the picture without being distracting. Very nice capture!
