Behind every cloud is another cloud
"Clouds come rushing to my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sky"
This quote by Tagore is the perfect caption to this photo. He was a poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, educationist, social reformer, nationalist, business manager and composer. To top it off he has also won the Nobel Prize in Literature (1913). In the last post when I talked about leaving behind a legacy, this is the type of legacy I was talking about. Only problem, as accomplished as Tagore is, today was the first time I heard about him. There are a vast amount of deeds that go unnoticed in everyday life, and similarly there are a million photo opportunities that are brushed aside.
This photo was taken using the newly acquired Panasonic LX-3, shot using the sunset mode (I wanted to see what these modes could do), then processed the RAW files in Photoshop CS3. Originally I took 9 photos (3x3 matrix arrangement) and stiched the lot together, then cropped and processed.
Hundreds of people must walk past this scene everyday, how many do you think stopped to appreciate it, let alone take a photo.
Keep an eye out

Hi there, I also since last week own the LX3. With 3x3 matrix arrangement, do you mean you did 'auto bracket' three times, and then made a HDR image with the 9 pictures?
Love the Tagore quote, btw. Since I have the LX3, I view the world differently... amazing what a camera can do to a man!
Its a great camera aye?
Imagine a normal photo, divided into 9 squares, and I took a seperate photo for each of those 9 squares then stitched them all into 1 like a panorama. That's how I did the photo in this post.
But ofcourse a HDR would also give me a nice effect, I might not have been able to fit so much scenery into the frame tho.
