Took these tonight from my front porch. Main focus was trying to capture the nice texture in the clouds. It really caught my eye. I kind of like the second one better myself, but wanted to get the opinion of others.

Which one do you like more and why?

Thanks everyone!

    I do like these kind of shots that are taken from one's own yard or home. It reminds me what's right out there in front of my nose. Cool! thumb.gifthumb.gif

    I gotta say that I loooooooove long-exposure night shots where you get cloud movement. Just so pretty, and great colors here too!

    That said, I'm not particularly fond of the lights and traffic through the trees. Traffic streaks are sexy, so are tree silhouettes. Probably just personal taste but I don't care for the mix.

    Still you have a great view from your porch and you certainly can't beat the convenience! I hope you get to shoot more from here in all kinds of great light. thumb.gif
