Stormy Skies
I am exploring meteorology. I am interested in this because weather exhibits very lively things compressed in one photo.
I took the first photograph, and you can see a rarely seen phenomena called a double rainbow. I know that double rainbows form together when there is light passing through thick layers of rain or mist.In this case, they formed after a heavy hailstorm in Pennsylvania. At first I saw one, only to see the faint second unsheathed by clouds, resulting in two colored archways across the dark gray sky. My interpretation of this photograph is that the rarely seen double rainbow will intrigue viewers.
It has been said that one image is worth a thousand words. This could be true about this photograph because it says a lot about experiencing the natural brilliance. It reflects my theme in that it is weather related, although this is a brighter photo than my usual gloomy pictures.
One thing that I know about weather is that you must intercept storms and have an understanding of the dynamics of storms in order to take eye-catching photos. One thing that I wonder about intercepting storms is if you can still capture good weather photos when you are not in a suitable area. This makes me think of taking pictures of my theme in the New York City environment without a rural landscape.
The second image was created by ducatirider and I found it on www.flickr.com. In this image, I see railroad tracks with bright red stones that contrast with the stormy black clouds it leads into . I know that this picture must have been taken during a thunderstorm unless it was photo-shopped because it produced such dark clouds. My interpretation of this image is that using the railroad tracks as lead lines into the picture made this a magnificent photo.
The second image relates to my photograph because it uses contrasts between bright things and gloomy clouds. As I look at this and other images, my next image will use lead lines. If I were to look up some information about my theme/topic, I would like to know more about photographing lightning.
Since you are reading this post, I would like to ask you what season you find to be most interesting to take photos of.

I like your topic! It makes
I like your topic! It makes for fun picture taking and awe-inspiring photographs. My favorite season to take pctures-such as this-would be spring, when it starts to rain and thunderstorms occur more often.
Your pictures are really
Your pictures are really cool. You balence light and dark in your photograps really well. I really like your theme. I like the pictures of the clouds with the sun peaking out but one idea would be to take a picture of stomy clouds iver say a field or down a city avenue or street.
I think it's really cool
I think it's really cool how you managed to capture this picture. The ray of light contrasts the rest of the photo and the grayness of the sky which gives the photo a cool effect. Good job!
I like your concept.
I like your concept. Most of the topics I have seen have been urban photography, so a take to nature is a nice change. I like the way you photograph the skies, and I wonder how you caught that rainbow in the picture. This photograph makes me want to incorporate weather and nice clouds into my urban photographs to give it a balance between urban and nature.
I'm very impressed on how
I'm very impressed on how you caught such a rare sight. It truly makes you wonder about how the amazing things that can be captured in photography. I agree with your statement on the second picture as well. Definitely keep up the good work.
I really like you first
I really like you first picture, what makes it even greater is that its rare. I also like the 2nd photo you choose, it goes well with your theme. I think I would probably find the season spring most interesting to take photos in, how about you?
I'm also interested in
I'm also interested in learning about meteorology. Its really cool how the weather works. I like your photos too. The picture about a rainbow and the thunderstorm is nice. The weather makes a picture look really nice.. like the ones you took. You should check out my post on Meteorology here youthvoices.net/node/52918
