A river usually runs through itSkywatch
Following on from the image earlier this week of the golden mud (well it is when the sun hits the right spot) another from the same day, this time shooting towards the sun. That would be that circle of white light struggling to be viewed behind the clouds. You can see how the mud really looks now, dull flat brown with a little dingy green growth of some kind. Yes the camera lies all the time, you just need to know how to make it lie best for you. Same with the pink tinged sky. Just have your setting that apply turned way down low, manual of course) and shoot. The illusion of a pink/lilac light emanating from the clouds whilst retaining the natural blue of the sky is thus achieved with a little manipulation of the camera. Auto would just bleach that sky and lighten the mud and you would get a nasty sun flare quite central. Sunflares can be useful but only under certain conditions. There you go, not so much smoke, mirrors and Photoshop but lens magic. Of course it could be Manx Magic again as it is the month of Halloween. I'll let you decide.
That usu sally is a river, The Sulby. Sure the other images will pop up at some point for you to compare. That's it short and sweet. For other skies around the world click here.

You can twiddle the white balance for that kind of effect too. Ahh Babs, I could spend days trading talk of aperture settings and gradient filters with you lassie. And yeah, for this kind of composition? Any kind of auto setting is gonna burn out your highlights trying to expose those shadows in the fore and middle-ground. 'Cause cameras only understand one thing: 18%.
Ooh! That's nice! I love all the different textures in the sky and in the mud.
I love the lightning in your photo! Nice colours too.
I'm getting peach not pink. Think that might be my screen.
Love the clouds, love the mud, love the mood.
What an exceptional sky. So beautiful and as always I enjoyed your post.
Marvelous photo to say the least, this one is a keeper.
All the best

Didn't know you were back. Cracker.
Lovely picture of a great sky.
Have a great skywatching day !
Good information. I discovered that by accident.
the clouds rising from behind the mountain...love that.
have a wonderful weekend.
Those clouds at the horizon look as if they are boiling. :)
Lovely shot as always!
Fantastic shot and thanks for the information -- I'm still such a beginner, I'm lucky to get any decent shots at all. But I surely have fun trying/learning!
Have a great weekend, Babooshka!

Wow! That is one amazing picture!
Fabulous capture!
This is another beauty. I enjoy your tips. I still have sooo much to learn.
That's a wonderful image! And you always have so many good tips! Thank you! :)
Personally I think it's more to the magic of the photographer - the best equipment in the world won't make a shot like that if you don't have the eye and the talent.
That view is fantastic! I love the colors!
Yet again you have excelled yourself B! Love this swf photo.
Cute blog title and I like the pic just as it is!
Fuzzbox? That was one of their songs?
It is cute.
Nice post for Skywatch Friday.

Great picture. I love that sky!
It's a beautiful sky, but you walked in that ugly mud for these shots? True dedication and an excellent capture.
I like the clouds beginnng to bubble over the hills! Looks like they are about to cover the mud with foam.
I love it!
I love it too...how unusual...super image!
gorgeous
spectacular shot!
glorious!
you make the ordinary look extraordinary! thanks for the tips!
That is the greatest challenge in photography, getting the image from the camera to resemble what our eyes see. I wish our cameras were a bit more truthful.
That's a great one!
Great shot! I like the light in the cirrocumuls clouds.
Accidentally I made some shots of this kind of clouds too this week, and then I was surprised by a wonderful sundog, which decorates my SWF.
Enjoy your weekend!
Love it.
I really, really like this. No, I love it. Think it would look brill blown up to poster size, framed and put on my wall. Awesome.
beautiful and serene. I love the mix of clouds, skywatching is endlessly amazing.

Pretty in pink and fabulously photographed as always, Ms. Babs.
Hi there!
Wanted you to know that Raf is in the hospital. It would be great if all our CDP family could be thinking and sending positive thoughts his way!
Really great photo!
Flat out gorgeous B. BTW, Marley, Wayne and LEif are occupying the Sin Bin for the moment. Check my Thurs post. Oh Lordy those naughty boys.

This is a beautiful landscape! Difficult photo to take but you managed it well.
I vote for Manx Magic -:)
Any progress with the Council and modifying or nullifying the development project?
台灣處亞熱帶最適於它的繁殖,危害最嚴重的有家白蟻及大和白蟻。在每年四月至九月間,一大群白蟻集體飛出巢穴追逐(颱風或大雨來臨之前)雌雄配對後,迅速地脫落翅膀, ... 在台灣,住的房子雖多為鋼筋水泥,但早期居住的木造房子,就常受到白蟻的侵蝕。
Wow! I love this picture. It is gorgeous! Pink makes me so happy : )
Great shot. It IS hard with digital to capture everything the eye sees. Unlike film, digital just cannot interpret or record what we could with old fashioned film. So we keep working at it.
I love your image.
Very nice...I like the textures. Manual shooting, I agree, is best.
It was a dark and cloudy night! I love it when you talk about the technique behind the shot! Happy Halloween! Wish there were a meme for it!
lovely photo and great tips. I have enjoyed catching up on your site. I have missed too many great photos. thanks for all you share.
Thanks for taking the time to teach me something! This really is a great image, and I always appreciate learning new photo tips.
Hey, Babooshka, long time, no see!
These golden clouds are such a gift!!
