Fire in the Sky


I was able to capture this photo right after a performance during World Premier Weekend. What struck me initially about this image was the natural silhouette appearance that was created when the light hit the trees from behind. I really liked the contrast that it created against the grey clouds and blue sky. What was interesting about this particular location was that the rest of the sky was generally very grey and  nondescript and this seemed to be the one spot of clarity to the sky behind. The other aspect that I enjoyed was the composition of the clouds themselves. It gave the effect of fire coming out of a central point behind the trees and the clouds are the resulting smoke. The overall feeling that it gave me was kind of a sense of majesty with the "fire" rising into a serene sky.

  1. Very nice photo and thoughts on it :)

    One thing you will learn in color theory is that there is no such thing as "Grey Light" and what we are generally seeing in clouds is lavender - take a closer look :)

    Just a reminder to add the week # in the subject line for the post

    Thanks!
