A week ago my friend, Kat, posted another of her Exploring with a Camera series on Capturing the Sky. I’ve always been fascinated by the sky so I went through the archives currently on my laptop (many are archived on an external hard drive) to see what I could find. Interestingly, most of the shots were taken with my point and shoot since I always have that in my purse. Here are eight shots of the sky.
Actually the sky figures in both the top and bottom of this photo. This was taken with one of my first Canon point and shoots from the deck of our townhouse on Kiawah Island.
Here the sky is captured in reflection. This was taken with the same camera during a vacation in 2007. I’d like to be there right now!
I took this one from my car one morning; another point and shoot. The sky was so dramatic I pulled over on my way to work.
I could never print this photo; there’s a lot of digital noise, but I love the colors on the horizon. I took this as we flew into Atlanta one night.
This I took with an iPhone app; probably the Hipstamatic since I’d just gotten my iPhone. This was from Sarah’s patio in California. I’m always looking at the sky there since it’s almost always blue–quite different from the typical gray skies of western New York in the spring.
This is one of my favorites. This was taken with my DSLR on a tripod early on Halloween last year at Conesus Lake as the sun came up.
And another favorite, also taken with my DSLR on a tripod in the Badlands. I waited a long time that night for this shot, but it was worth it.
What about you? Do you watch the skies?
Hi Karen ~ Just popped in over here to catch up on some reading and I’m so happy that these lovely sky photos were the first things I saw. They are stunning!!! LOVE the one taken on Halloween, and the photos of the sky reflected in the water are great too. And yes, I’m always watching the sky. I have SOOOO many photos of clouds its almost silly. Thanks for sharing these! xo
Your sky photos are phenomenal Karen – I’m always amazed by your skills! I do take a lot of sky pics too – I got some good ones last year at Ocean City NJ.
Hmmmm, yes, I could quite happily join you at that particular holiday destination – it looks glorious!
Great shots, I love the colour of the sky in the badlands … whre are they by the way?
Oh yes. I watch the sky from the skylight in my craft space at the top of the house. But I’ve certainly never managed any photos as beautiful as these!
Oh, these are gorgeous Karen. Thanks so much for linking in to Exploring with a Camera this time! My favorite is the third one down, that is an incredible sky and I love how you framed it. I have to say, having those little trusty point and shoots with you is the best!
These are stunning – I love the reflections ones particularly …
