The pattern of the high cirrus clouds was captivating. It was as though someone had taken a giant can of white spray paint and had slashed it all over the sky.
Walking from the exit doors of my local Home Depot, I couldn't help but turn my head upward. As DW and I made our way through the parking lot to our car, I knew one thing: as soon as I had free hands, I would capture this image.
Yes, I did increase the contrast and saturation, and lower the highlights. But that's it, and by no more than a 10-percent increase for the first two aspects, and a 25-percent reduction for the highlights.
As I said, I thought the sky looked as though a graffiti artist had taken spray paint to the sky. But when I showed the photo to my mother, later that evening, and as some of my Twitter followers also attested when I shared it on social media, she said it looked more like something that Vincent Van Gogh might have painted.
I stand corrected.
Happy Friday!
