Looking up
Looking up
The Daily Post photo prompt this week is Look Up. I’m always looking up. Watching the birds, or the clouds, or just whatever is up there. I even created a series of photos that are on my Mary Hone Photography site, Nobody ever looks up. (Which I need to add to)
Sunday we had a rainy, stormy day at the art show. Heavy rain off and on pretty much the whole day. We got everything packed and put away about 15 minutes ahead of a good down pour that evening. Then, the sky cleared enough to take Torrey for a walk and check out the clouds over the Tetons. Swirling, shifting, beautiful clouds and some sunshine. What a great reason to look up.
And it is very dramatic in black and white.
Today we are in Montana, with even more dramatic landscapes. More on that in the coming days.
YOU are the queen of outdoor photography. I was out this weekend with friends and one of them lent me his polarized lens cap. It did make a difference in getting a bluer sky, but I suppose LIGHT ROOM(which I’m purchasing soon) helps too!
Amazing.
Lightroom will do the same thing as a polarizing filter. In fact I did some research on a filter, and decided against it, simply because I can get the same thing in LR without the fuss of a filter.
Hello, gorgeous sky captures, I love the view of the Tetons. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
Beautiful photos. Some of my best nature photography was after rainstorms – all the colors seemed more pronounced. I’m looking forward to the Montana photos, that’s where I always wanted to live since I was a child. How did the show go for you?
The show went well, thanks for asking. We sold a bronze sculpture, which is always good, and some photos.
Excellent! :D
Very nice! Making me miss the mountains :-)
Dramatic landscape captures! Love the first one especially, stunning. :)
Mom was always told to not look up as that is what tourists always do. Nice photos, though, and a good idea for a fresh perspective.
I was bummed the weather was so nasty on Sunday. I was looking forward to driving through Driggs and over Teton Pass. Glad to hear you sold a bronze making the show worth your while. Enjoy Montana!
Mary! I am so glad I made reference to the polarizing filter so that you could advise me. THANK YOU! You are right! Why would I need that if LR can do the trick!!!! I am so grateful for your talents and correspondence. THANK YOU!
Such beautiful vistas and photos. In particular I like the black and white version. Gorgeously processed!

Mary, you are always reminding me to look up, and out, at the wonder and beauty of the world around me. thank you for the inspiration.
Love the black and white — so very dramatic.
No better reason than those skies…:)JP
