I see faces in the clouds, Do You?

Post Wed Mar 31, 2010 5:45 am



I shot this image recently at the Meander Indian reservation in northern Alberta. The photo is virtually unchanged, maybe contrast/brightness and sized down for pbase. I see many faces and partial faces, you may have to open a larger image, look slowly. Post your cloud images.

Nicely composed, looks like something putting on their sunglasses while riding some sort of sea creature.
Hope I'm not the only one seeing these things :wink:

Here's what looks like a giant's hand reaching out towards the land...

And here's what I imagine is a giant seagull flying across the sky...

Solid shots right there pinemikey!

The first looks like a megalodon shark chomping. Very cool image!

And the second really does look like giant seagull soaring off.

Nice captures both of them!!

the mask

The green is aurora energy reflected off clouds. To me it appears as if a mask on its' side.
The orange lines are truck lights on the highway.

same here...we call this Northern Lights, or Aurora, or locally most commonly "the lights", as in "Did you catch the lights last night"? Say that to anyone in town and they will know exactly what you mean and not hesitate to say yea or nea. But this image was a somewhat of a unique thing. I shoot a -lot- of Northern Lights. http://www.pbase.com/santa/aurora (are just a few examples) . These were "invisible" Northern Lights. I see that I didn't explain the entire situation in my brief post with the original "Mask" image. Here's the back-story to that image.

I traveled South into the Alaska Range ( I live in North Pole, Alaska) so I could be in the mountains for some Aurora photography. It was getting late and absolutely nothing was happening. I decided to do a long exposure - 10 minutes, pointed somewhat West to get the star streaks I wanted, and kept low enough to catch a truck or car that might go by during the exposure. There was NO Aurora visible. During the exposure a truck or two did go by and leave orange streaks. After the in camera noise reduction was finally done, I was surprised to find the long exposure allowed the energy from the Aurora to be visible, reflected off the clouds. It also made the very obvious shape of a face on it's side. Yet there was no color or Aurora visible to the naked eye. I've since used long exposures literally thousands of times to capture feint Aurora, but never so interestingly as the "Mask" shot, above.

I see a right eye, a nose and a mouth, possibly a cat:
