Aren’t These THE Most Fantastic Pictures?

Asperatus Clouds

Asperatus Clouds

The BBC has picked up today (why today? I dunno!) on some photos from the Cloud Appreciation Society.  They are suggesting a new class of cloud to be called Asperatus, on top of the Cumulus, Cirrus etc that we already have.

Might I suggest ‘Fantasticus’ as these are some of THE eeriest pictures I’ve ever seen.  Thank god for modern, fast, portable cameras!

It’s like natural art.

Introduction

I’ve been busy this weekend having a twiddle with the site appearance.  I got a bit fed up with dragons so now it’s an anachronistic mix of Edinburgh Rock shades and the Gallows!  There are a shedload of random photos sliced into the header taken by me, Strangely Perfect, using my new Panasonic TZ5.  Over time, I’ll probably add some more photos, both earlier and newer.  Each page refresh plonks up a new one.  The slices are a fairly random crop of the source pictures using Irfanview in batch mode.  This has produced some interesting effects for me – as with my music, I like the spontanaeity!

I’ve uploaded the source photos sized to a max dimension of 800 pixels to the gallery shown for those that are curious.  All photos are from Somerset and Northumberland.

Dwarf Cherry Tree and a Buddhist

This tree has been so fantastic this year that I’ve taken about a million pictures of it.  Every time I look at it, it’s better than the last time.  So I took a photo with someone standing in front of it….

Moon Craters with Panasonic Lumix TZ5

These pictures were taken this evening, by myself ,after finding my body clock not in time with the clocks going forward last night!  I chose a nice blue camera from the range.

• the Earthshine quite clearly lighting up the mare on the Moon (the Man in the Moon) in the blue-ish real-colour shot.
• Craters!  At the terminator (the join between light and dark) on the under-exposed shot which is blacker, we can quite clearly see large craters!
• On both shots, the terminator clearly has a ragged edge!  It’s not sharp – and this is due to the presence of craters and other highland mountain ranges.

For me, this is amazing for a pocket camera.  The thing does almost anything, I’ve found, once the correct settings are in.  In fact, it does stuff very well just leaving it on auto!
