Description Breaking out of the box a bit! 10 exposures at 1/4 of a second each stacked into one image for movement in the clouds and American flags. I waited 15 seconds between each exposure to allow the clouds to trace across the sky.

wonderful capture, I usually do this with astro stuff, but never daylight shots. Do you ever listen to 'This American Life' on NPR?

Good idea though letting 15s gives a stutter to the clouds. Dig the comp and idea. Think it works well in both color and b/w.

Great range of motion in the flags, and the sky, very well composed as well man.

I have a question for this one. Why the choice of stacked images instead of a single long exposure shot? Wanted to be less noisy and colour cast free or is there another reason.

I have to admit that the jagged texture of the clouds is not very much to my liking but this is my opinion. I do like the composition though and the sense of depth created by the geometric shapes enhanced by the cloud movement.

I tried one as a long exposure streak, but there was so much white cover in the sky from the passing clouds that I decided to go with a series of stacked images to maintain as much blue as possible. Thanks for you comments everyone!!

Great shot Joe, it is good to break out of the box now and then I believe. I love shots like this, always have, always will
