Sky above the San Francisco Bay Area, September 21, 2012
There probably isn’t a lot to say about a photograph of a small section of the September sky above northern California. I made the photograph while waiting (for three hours!) for the Space Shuttle Endeavour flyover at the NASA/Ames Research Center Moffett Field. Fortunately, it was not a typical perfect blue sky California September day – instead there were some beautiful high clouds of various sorts that were probably connected to the passage of some tropical moisture. Standing around with a bit lens on the camera and nice clouds overhead – why not photograph a few of them? :-)

I spent a day photographing cloudy skies from the Berkeley hills and Berkeley Pier a few months ago. I haven’t done anything with them yet, but I imagine they may be useful if I ever get into making composites. I am not above dressing up an image that has a dull sky by sticking in an interesting sky, I just haven’t done it yet.
