The clouds were pretty interesting the other evening. Just for a few moments, the light and the colors of the scene were awesome. I was lucky enough to be there to witness it. Stupid me didn’t wait around for the sunset though. I drove to another part of the coast, chasing a cloud that I was hoping would make for a great shot at sunset. Unfortunately, it evaporated before the sun went down and I was left in the middle of agriculture fields with nothing too exciting going on.
This was shot with TrueHDR. Edited with Snapseed, Tangled FX, and ImageBlender. I liked the Tangled FX version, but wanted to dial it back a bit by using ImageBlender to reduce the opacity of the effect to about 70% just to bring back a hint of realism.
I like the tangles in the clouds. They compliment the lines of the surf.
Love me some texture clouds! :-)
Me too. Yay for cloudporn
Very cool shot! I have yet to try Tangled FX.
I’m a fan of it. The effects vary from wild to painterly. It just got an update too with added features.
I sense poetry in this picture. As the wispy, thread-like clouds shed their darkness and swoon down to meet the grey seas, what is the first thought that comes to you?
Great photo composition, holds a touch of genius.

Thank you for the beautiful reply, Shakti. The first thought that comes to me in that spot is peace. It seems like the most peaceful place amongst the chaotic looking clouds and the always agitated sea.
Beautiful! I love clouds!
So do I. They almost always inspire creativity because you can see so many different things in clouds.
:) Yes. Some of the best clouds I’ve ever seen were the monsoon clouds in the mountains of Arizona. They were quite spectacular!
Gorgeous! Really like what you accomplished with this photo. :)
