Skyscape
I always think that dramatic sky photos are a bit of a facile cop-out. A bit lazy. What could be more available to photographers than the sky. You don't need to know where to find it. On the other hand, they have one defining quality - they are all going to be 100% unique. Nobody can stand in the same place as me at the same time with the same camera/lens configuration. Of course, that is true of a lot of photos, but there is something slightly different about skies. It's a bit like sand sculptures or drawings traced on a beach. This way the camera can cheat the ephemeral nature of some things. Or can it? A photograph of the sky is not the sky.... and the sky is not black and white (at least this one wasn't - people in Scotland might disagree). And of course, I twiddled the dramatic-sky knobs on the computer
