Illinois Skies (aka Pictures That Don't Suck)

I did actually get some nice pictures from my camera. I happen to like cloudwatching, so I shot some photos of the sky during the first shoot. I think this camera will do an adequate job of photographing clouds. Following are some pictures from the evening of May 29, with a westering sun. Unfortunately I missed the bright orange penny of the sun caught between cloud and ground, as I was helping jump-start the lawnmower at that time.

This is a view of clouds to the east of Fieldhaven.

These are pictures of clouds to the west of Fieldhaven.







You can see that it took a little practice to get the horizon line relatively straight. Earlier pictures were worse about that. The 30-second limit on aiming does not help.
