Thread: Show: Skyscapes

Some great captures here.

If I remember correctly the location I took this, I probably couldn't have moved myself to get what I wanted because of the local topography.
So this is an example of where I have captured the idea of an image rather than the image I saw, and while it's "ok" it's also "nothing really", which is why I call it a snap.

Thanks for the thoughtful considered reply. I wondered whether the act of taking the picture is what made it a snap, or whether it was tagged as one in hindsight. I completely get why you would rate it as a snap however, but I rather like the image. There's something spontaneous and joyful about it, like a picture taken out of the window of a fast moving car.

Same sky, same time of day, two cameras. Both raw, both after the same Snapseed treatment.
