Skywatch Friday – Grab Bag of Skies

Tuesday I noticed that there was a hole in the sky so I took a photo of the hole.

I love power plants, especially those powered by natural gas and if they light up really good and have a cool sign then so much the better. This is Public Service Company’s Tulsa Power Station located on the Arkansas River in Tulsa.

This is a backyard sunrise shot from earlier this week.

And a shot of my neighbor’s sprinkler reflecting the sunset one day against a cool sky. Hey I’m opportunist and don’t apologize for it.

And this is from back in 2012 when our family went to Seattle for our vacation. We took a day trip to Mount Rainier National Park. I tried to take this photo but we were blacked out because the sky and the mountain was so bright. I figured out how to correct that on the iphone Lightroom app using their new masking capability, and I was able to bring us out from the dark. You can tell that I didn’t do that good a job on the masking but you know sometimes enough is enough.

    Beautiful photo of the golden light on the water droplets from the sprinkler. I do a lot of foreground lightening in my sky shots… especially if they have people in them. Lightroom (and PS) work great for that!

    That sprinkler picture. WOW. I also like the editing effects in your last picture. I don’t know how to describe it (misty?) but I like the way it came out.

    I love power plants too! We drive by one on a highway and I always exclaim in joy when it’s lit up at night. My family thinks I’m crazy. Lol. Love that sprinkler shot.. it’s perfect.

    Love the neighbor’s sprinkler! “I love power plants…” is something I have never heard anyone say before! Maybe Mr. Burns said it in some The Simpsons episode though. Lights at night to change things, I think cities look pretty at night. You forget what they are!
