Description
The day was ending, and we were travelling in car in the Trinidad area (ca. 250 miles or 400km South-East of Habana). I was attracted by these big and heavy grey clouds, which had an egg shape. Suddenly a hole appeared, and the light set the fire to the sky. As always your comments will be greatly appreciated
C’était la fin de la journée et nous étions en voiture dans la région de Trinidad, environ 400km au Sud-Est de La Havane. Mon attention fut attirée par de gros et lourds nuages gris, en forme de sacs ovoïdes. Soudain une trouée apparut, et la lumière inonda le ciel. Vos commentaires seront, comme toujours, les bienvenus.
Techdata: Nikon D50 with Nikkor 3.5-4.5/18-70 Pro ED at 44mm, 1/250s at f/10, ISO 200. I made in fact two picts, the best one having not a sufficient part of ground. Therefore I enlarged the image size to paste the lacking part issued from the second photo into the best one, after a careful matching of landscape detail because the two picts were taken at different focal lengths. Two Ajustment Layers were used, Levels and Exposure, the latter one using the Layer Mask to prevent local burning of the lightest zones. Note: the Exposure Adjustment Layer appears only in Photoshop CS3, with its three sliders it is much easier to use than Curves that you can use in older versions.

stunning image, the light hitting those clouds are magnificent, excellent work !!
thank you very much.it is an exceptional sky of exceeding beauty.Up in one of the Dakotas this type of cloud a year ago back was very pronounced .the images was floating around the internet
une image étonnante, des couleurs magnifiques. Les nuages ont une forme incroyable, que l'on voit rarement. Merci d'avoir partagé cette image. Seul bémol à mon avis : trop serré en bas. Néanmoins, c'est peu, comparé à la qualité de l'image.
Ein tolles Bild!!! Die Stimmung des Himmel ist besonders Toll!!! Gruß Rocksy
Very beautiful shot!
Those are spectacular cloud formations. The light on the bottoms and the amber in the sky is outstanding compo.
Je suis sous le charme de ce ciel de rêve! Une lumière à la fois forte et apaisante, voici ce que je ressens en regardant ton cliché... superbe vraiment!
wonderful work . so colorful
Fantastique voute de nuages, qui semble rouler à l'horizon dans une merveilleuse lumière. Je vois que le NikonD50 n'a rien à envier au D70 ou D80!(en repensant à un mail d'Edouard sur le sujet!)Excellente photo, un rendu fabuleux.
This is a beautiful shot. I love how rich dense these clouds look. Splendid work!!!!
Yes,forget the name,but they usually mean trouble....a great capture of this type of sky!
Stunning sky capture! Wonderful!
Super creation. 5+.
C'est l'avant plan du haut, nuageux (ouateux), qui fait toute l'originalité de la photo, le tout dans un écrin de superbes tonalités et une parfaite maîtrise des hautes lumières. Bravo.
Wonderful!

Wonderful shot of these "mammatus" clouds!!!
Waou !!! Magnifiques les nuages, j'adore cette photo ^-^
Ces volutes de nuages sont tout simplement étonnantes !!! une situation difficile car les appareils numérique ont tendance à sur-exposer dans les cas de contre jour et tu as très bien géré..............
What a surreal sky. This is an excellent capture!!! Well done!
Superb image!!!
Most beautiful... Aloha
