I've taken a strong interest in sky photography. Here are photos I took earlier this month during sunsets on different days. None of them were edited.

(Yes, the clouds on the right are really a blue-green color. Cool, isn't it?)

Amazing cloud photos, Paxis! The clouds are green/blue because light from the sun reflects the colors from the ground back into the clouds. That can also be associated with severe weather if I'm not mistaken.

Good stuff gang! I especially like the sunset pics, Paxis! I take a lot of sky shots myself, and will add more soon.

Mighty, thanks for reminding me about the mantis pics. lol I shall add those soon too!

Paxis: I really liked your photo's,

. Your fifth picture looks a lot like a Van Goff painting or something.

Thanks everyone! ^^

Mighty-> Yeah, that's most likely the reason. I was taking my dog out when I saw the color in the clouds so I quickly went back inside and grabbed my camera. xD

JC-> Thanks, and I can't wait to see your sky photos!

Conay-> Yeah, those last two cloud pictures reminded me of a painting but I couldn't remember what the painting was or who it was from. Thank you. ^^

Actually, they remind me of the backgrounds from ADGTH 2

Speaking of clouds, I have some cloud photos myself.

These are right after a severe storm pushed through.

Last July in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Video screenshot. From this past Saturday.

Conay-> Lol, true!
Edit: You know what really reminds me of those clouds is the scene in Spirit where Spirit and Little Creek return to the Lakota Village. Ex. 1 Ex. 2 Ex. 3

Mighty-> Nice photos! C:

Nice, I've done some sky photographs.

Those are some really neat sky pics.

Personally, I like photographing wildlife and other animals. Here are a couple I've taken at my cottage of the loons on the lake - and their adorable baby.

These next couple I took at the Toronto Zoo. The arctic wolves weren't the only animals I took pictures of, but they were the ones that came out the best. The second photo is actually what I currently have as my computer's desktop image.

While I'm at it, I may as well post these. Now, imagine you're biking through the woods, when suddenly, you find the wreck of an old car. No, this is no joke - I actually found the rusting body of a car, which was somehow parked in the woods, probably decades ago. Neat, huh?

I believe this to be a coyote track, it was right out front of the door. O__o There are or was (I've not heard them in awhile) a pack of coyotes in the area. I heard them howling throughout the nights.

Awesome photos, everyone!

I usually lean towards animal photography, but eh. xD

Great pics, Tibb! I love the kitten, and the floor too. :lol:
