Far view of Tatra Mountains
When you are driving from Limanowa to Nowy Sacz and air is clear you may see Tatra Mountains. It usually means severe wheather change in 2-3 days (but not always). Below is one of such views. Sorry for a bit foggy picture, but even with crystal clear air you will get much fog on your image. Thats because Tatras are about 40-50 km away from place where I took this picture. When visibility is “normal” you will see nothing but clouds or just silhouettes of mountains in fog.

Watching sunset after work
On friday I’ve finished my work a bit earlier and stopped to watch sunset on my way back home. Of course not only with my eyes, but also with camera sensors
P.S. Black dot over trees on last photo is flying bird. There is whole flock of them if you’ll look carefully on lower left corner.

Cloud nebulas
I’ve recently sold Minolta Dynax 5D and bunch of lenses and spent that money on Sony A700. Its design is almost three years old but its still an awesome camera and hard to beat competitor for current models of mid-range Canon or Nikon bodies. So… lets go back to images
Clouds are quite hard subject for photographers in my opinion. They may look very good on landscape shots, but when no piece of land is visible they look bland. Today I’ve tried to show that clouds may be used as primary subject – you just need to show them in a bit unusual way. You’ll have to judge yourself if I succeeded or not
