San Antonio Camera Phone: HDR Clouds
More cloud photos from me.
Anyone who follows me on Facebook or checks my photo blog, I saw it in San Antonio, knows I have a bit of an obsession with taking photos of clouds. I downloaded an app for my iPhone called Pro HDR, which although not a true HDR effect, gives some cool results. It basically takes two contrasting photos focusing in on two part of the photo, one light and one dark. Through a bunch of magic wizardry, it then compiles the data from the two pictures into one color rich, deep shadowed photo.
In this photo you can see one of the drawbacks of blending two photos together. The wind had just picked up and as the branches swayed, they appeared and disappeared from the frame of the photo I was trying to capture. This often causes light blurs and fuzzy edges, but I still think the results look amazing (and are much closer to what I was seeing in real life).
Hope you enjoy the clouds and you’ll take some time to stop by I saw it in San Antonio.

nice shot, gonna be out in san antonio in a bit looking forward to seeing some of those texas clouds…
Loren – Make sure you’re prepared for some humidity. We’ve had crazy clouds thanks to all the humidity, but beacause of upper level systems, we haven’t been able to squeeze a ton of rain out of them. It’s been brutal and we haven’t even got that hot yet.
that my friend is an awesome pic
homeloan_ninja – Thanks. I like this one from the other day – “The sky is on fire.“
