Storm Activity: Mesmerizing Clouds in the Sky

In between the storms, clouds take over the sky, altering its state every second ranging from cumulus to cirrocumulus and everything in between. 

The Tokyo Street Scene at Twilight

When you're inside a tall building and you peer outside, you mostly just look straight across at the skyscraper views, etc...but sometimes staring right down below is even more enticing and thrilling (depending on if you're scared of heights or not). 

It was amazing looking outside the window at the freeway traffic, cars, and the daily lives of the people in the downtown area at twilight. The twinkle of lights and the darkening of skies makes for pretty awesome people-watching from above. 

Chaos After the Storm: High Contrast Clouds Effect

After one of the biggest storms hit the city, the rain stops and the sky slowly begins to clear...but not fast enough. I look up and notice these striking clouds, the remains from the storm. 

I ended up playing up the effects of this by upping the contrast and saturation to create this high contrast clouds imagery of the city.
