Playing with my camera, looking up into the sky I saw a similarity in shape like an impossible reflection in a pond. The clouds enforce the shapes and link them together.

Trip to the Mountains

On my recent holiday to Austria I made several pictures of hang gliders. But which one do I like best? I already selected the one where they form a triangular shape. Below is a selection of two of these. How much mountains as a border below is enough? Do I want them to be really separate from the clouds or does it add something to the photo just because of the clouds (which was my first feeling).

I also made a number of shots with the para gliders being very small relative to the scene. I like that very much, but it does ask a little more work of the viewer. In the end I think this give a better impression of the scene because it better shows the humbleness of the gliders in the big sky above the mountains.
