Challenge: Zen Photography (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D100
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6G
Location: Oslo
Date: Jul 29, 2006
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Cityscape, Sky
Date Uploaded: Jul 29, 2006

 RAW converted, USM, cloned out a fair bit of noise and dust, levels (cut out the light half - that is, moved the right slider half way in), brightness/contrast (10/10), some selective colour on the green (bottom) and cyan - it didn't be looking to have so much effect when I made the adjustment layers invisible though, so it can't have been much.

There were some exciting Turner skies around and I was hoping for birds against the blue and grey. Then I saw this and just caught it before it broke up.

I think it's zen because it's quiet/not quiet. Presents itself plainly enough and leaves you with questions nonetheless.

The main cloud looks like a samurai, faced away from us, holding out his draped right arm and bowing his head slightly. His left hand is on his hip. I might crop just below the main cloud. The clouds below belong to a different story.

To me, thunder clouds, do not say calm

A bit lackluster and the cloud shapes are not especially soothing to me.
