All The Dumb Things

A cautionary tale in development

Unreal clouds

Posted by razzbuffnik on May 12th, 2007

I do a bit of design work for the web and one of the people I’ve done work for is an old friend John Chilton of Camel design

and Scenic Oasis

in Vancouver Canada. Part of John’s business is the renting out of painted back drops for the movie and advertising industry. There is always a concern that clouds in the backdrops look realistic. The funny thing is that quite often natural clouds can look very unnatural like the photo below.

The image is a composite of about four images that have been “stitched” together with Canon’s PhotoStitch. The photos were taken from my bedroom balcony in Febuary this year at sunset
