A vast cloudscape. Shadows fall on the clouds closest to the foreground as bright white light pours from those in the distance and a hint of blue sky is revealed as well.

A panoramic image of dense tropical foliage at night. Hard contrasting light brightens the plants in the immediate foreground as they create a border around its edges. Deeper into the dark central areas of the photo further flora can be seen against the dark night sky and dimly lit stars.
For #BlueskyArtShow here’s a break in the foliage but it’s also my first released piece! Appropriate for today’s #openings theme in multiple ways 🙂

You've heard of Pizza Cat, but how about this mouser at Vicenza?
As Stars and Stripes reporter Chad Garland observed: "I ran into one of the dozen or so feral cats the Garrison has tagged and adopted as mouse-hunters. His name, fittingly, is Grey. He patrols the area around the USO." #Flashes
A large mineral sample fills the bottom of this image as a smaller one, a small piece of cast iron, and a very thing needle hover above. The whole scene is lit with orange, red, and magenta light and a very low depth of field setting on a vintage lens creates dramatic blurring.

A long exposure photograph of the night sky, with the brightest stars creating blurry blooms in the vintage style lens. Bright orange and red light is leaking in from the top left of frame makes a warm wash of color across the frame.
I don’t do as much star photography as I would like but this piece has made a great #background for other work I’ve made. #BlueskyArtShow

An abstracted seascape at night. A source of light from somewhere out of frame to the right lights the sky’s clouds and to a lesser extent the dark brown sand. There also appear to be numerous vertical black streaks across the field where ocean and sand meet.
What little light there is here fades quickly into the #background in this piece for today’s #BlueskyArtShow

A very abstracted seascape at night. On the near invisible horizon sits a single luminescent spot. The rest depicts a black ocean and light grey clouds against a dull blue sky.
Nearly imperceptible where foreground ends and #background begins. I really enjoyed making these nighttime seascapes. #BlueskyArtShow

An abstracted seascape at night. Softened and distorted by a vintage lens and long exposure, light grey cumulus clouds sit at the top this stratified image. Below them is the dark deep blue of distant sky, under which sits a dull grey ocean. At the bottom gold-yellow sand curves around the scene.
A good one for today’s #BlueskyArtShow, from a series of images that are basically all #background

A vast cloudscape assembled from many individual photographs. The colors vary through light and darker blues as well as a touch of salmon and coral in the background sky.
From the first stage of editing, this work actually ended up being disassembled and its pieces used in a couple of other artworks in the same series.
