Thanksgiving: Lake Marion - The Clouds I
Lake Marion, The Clouds
This is one of the many shots I took while I was in South Carolina this past week. The clouds were gorgeous. I shot in RAW and no editing was done on this photo. It was amazing the detail I saw when I gazed up in the clouds. I snapped many pictures. You can view a few more by checking out my Lake Marion adventures post.
Perhaps tomorrow I’ll share a few photos of the Lake Marion drought. I won’t post too many here but you’ll eventually find the entire set if you visit my photography website.
If you like what you see please subscribe to Opal Tribble’s photography’s RSS feed. If you’ve visited my photography website before you might notice a subtle change. The background is all black now. I made the change this morning.
I was using the stock Word Press theme but I didn’t like it too much so now it’s all Black. I’m in good company Pete of My GPS Camera Phone uses it also along with Beth of Eclectic Studio Cafe. Mike Goad also uses it on his photography website when you go onto his photoblog he uses a combo. I also use the Word Press Plug In YAPB (Yet Another Photo Blog) on this website. It’s a great plug in that will turn many blogs into a photoblog. I love it.
I haven’t promoted my photography website as much as I should I enjoy capturing what I see but I still have a lot to learn. Over the next few months I will be doing more with my website, as well as a few of my other websites that don’t get as much attention as Vegan Momma.

You are inspiring me to actually make sure I take my camera around with me. It just started snowing again here :)

As I mentioned on the other Lake Marion post, it is hard to believe there isn’t any post processing on these photos.
It looks like you have been giving your camera quite a workout, and the photography books you have been reading are having a positive impact on your photography.
I look forward to checking out your photography site.

Forest Parks,
I cannot wait to see what you capture. I love snow. :-)
Beth Ellen,
Thanks!
Thomas,
Pretty amazing, eh? I have Ken Rockwell’s Nikon D80 Manual to thank for that. I rarely have to do any post processing. I never did too much before but at times I had to tweak with the bright colors because they were overly saturated. What I see is usually what I capture. I really enjoy that. Nikon makes good cameras. I’m very happy with the ones I’ve used.

I didn’t even know you had a photo site. Shooting in RAW is the way to go, for sure. Place RAW next to the same image as a JPG and you can see the difference. There’s so much more detail in RAW. Thanks for working me into your post, yet again. :) A black background for photos is really the best way to go. Don’t listen to all of the web pro hype about correct background color selection.

The black background is a great choice for photos. Makes you think that back in the old days when you had black pages with the little corners holding the photos in place, someone had the right idea even then! ;) Love your clouds - they are beautiful! going to check photo blog now of course.
