Posts marked clouds

Sean R. Heavey’s amazing storm photography will make you want to run for cover.

The Cirrus sofa set by Dizajno may be the closest you’ll get to sitting on a cloud.

Single Cloud Collection by Leandro Erlich imagines what would happen if clouds could be captured between panes of glass.

These moonlit Nacreous clouds were captured by DL. S (aka Peace Portal Photo) at McMurdo Station in Ross Island, Antarctica. 

A Portrait of the Matterhorn is one of several outstanding ongoing projects by Nenad Saljic.

Saljic on his photography:

Every living being has its own perception of the outer world. Limits of human senses determine our abilities to interpret reality. Quantum physics shows us that reality is ultimately “veiled” from us. We live in the state of maya or illusion, as has been said by Dharmic religions - nothing that we see is how it is.

Photography is the way I see reality. It is my emotional voyage to the remaining beauty in today’s world of artificial values. I make photographs from the images that thrill my senses and provide me with an experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction.

You don’t have to look out the window to know it’s cloudy outside with the Nebula 12 lamp by Micasa LAB, you’ll know by the cloud forming in your living room.

About the project:

In the standard mode, Nebula 12 predicts the weather for the next 48 hours. A threatening low-pressure area is announced by a red cloud, and sunshine is shown in yellow. At the same time, the user can adjust the settings and define the source of information themselves. And the best is: regardless of how dark the cloud is, Nebula 12 never brings any rain. At least, not within one’s own four walls.

Photo Stacks by Matt Molloy. These images were created by combining multiple photos into one, many of which were originally captured as time-lapse video.

Jeff Pang takes amazing photos of amazing places.

National Geographic has put together a spectacular collection of the first noctilucent, or night-shining, clouds of this year in Riga, Latvia.

About noctilucent clouds:

Too thin and wispy to be seen during the day, noctilucent clouds are high enough that the sun’s steeply raked post-sunset rays hit the clouds even after the ground has gone dark.

Forming from ice crystals, the rarely seen clouds waft through the mesosphere, slightly more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) above Earth’s surface—making them the world’s highest known clouds.

So, apparently when Camille Seaman isn’t out taking amazing pictures of icebergs or giving TED Talks, she’s out chasing storms. My life suddenly seems a whole lot less exciting.
