Tracks from a prehistoric monster bird greeted Murphy and I in the wet desert west of the airport today. Sun there was, but the wind was ferocious - 45 to 60+ mph gusts. Parts of the clouds were torn up by the gusts and others were just clear and neat. Murphy really enjoyed it; the wind seems to really wire him and he runs around "like a striped-ass ape" as my Dad used to say!
With all the light and dark I took the opportunity to work with the CS5 HDR (high dynamic range) processing, and see if I could get the emotion into it that the scene conveyed to me. Still a ways to go, but slowly getting there. You cannot be bashful in this type of venture!!
The large cloud mass overhead was very disturbed. This 7 shot combination, taken within a 2 second period, shows the movement of this cloud mass during that time and the software did not put it back together. That stands against the clarity of the clouds over the mountains (Oquirrhs), that were not subject to the winds. Intriguing contrast.
