I have been fascinated with skies lately. Whenever I am out and about, I find myself capturing a few images of mostly sky. Maybe just a little bit of something else, to ground the image, like this tree in silhouette.
There is so much possibility in the sky. It’s wide open, too big to capture it all with the camera. I can only capture little glimpses, enough to give an impression. The glimpses are so fleeting, as the sky is ever changing. The clouds and the light do not hold for any photographer, I have to catch what I can.
I am once again reminded of the Spiral of Creativity by this image of the sky. We do the best we can to capture the fleeting inspiration that comes to us, and pull it into our spiral. We figure out how to make this transitory and insubstantial thing, this idea, into something real. For all of the giant, expansive nature of ideas, we have to break them down. Frame them into something manageable in order to proceed.
Turn an idea into a manageable plan. Capture a piece of the sky. It’s all the same thing, and about as easy to do either. Yet, I am challenged to continue trying. Maybe, just once in a while, something great comes out of the effort. Something I can share with you.
I haven't taken many pics of the sky but I'm starting to notice it more and more. I think with London when its blue skies I'm more inclined to take a picture because its so unusual!
I like that–creativity–capturing a piece of the sky. Nice! :):)
wonderful shot here, love those rolling clouds. I do love the sky in winter, I don't take it every day but I watch it every day!
I have more photographs of bland, colourless skies than I can shake a stick at! It's the one thing I find really difficult to meter for. Yours is lovely – great detail of the clouds – a really interesting sky.
The awesome thing is that in God's beautiful world, they never look the same. Talk about creativity! Thank you for an inspiring Sweet Shot Tuesday! 🙂
The clouds here in Florida are gorgeous. It feels like watching an art gallery overhead.
the sky can be a perfect canvas. you captured it beautifully here.
Oh I love this – I find myself staring up into the sky quite regularly. I wish I could more often pull over and just capture it's natural beauty.
What a beautiful blog you have here dear. Thanks for the sky photos. I will take more time today and in the future to look up for inspiration. Blessings
Kat,
With a simple subject, you have captured beauty, balance, and movement. You prove that grandeur is close at hand! Lovely.
I love the colors and depth of the clouds in your photo. I wish we saw clouds here more often — our skies are usually solid blue, or gray, or white (fog). But I can "capture a piece of the sky" in other ways….
Oh boy, I have soo many sky shots. Because it is constantly changing its personality. But, yes, the shots we get are so limited in comparison to the whole. So true.
Beautiful Miss K and so ever changing…
