Thank you. I saw the clouds that afternoon and they just about blew my mind away. I mentioned it to several people and they hadn't looked upward. I guess I otta buy some of the 13" roll paper and see what kind of trouble I can get in to.

Nice clouds! I really like the car and parachute. That one's a real wall-hanger!

Other aspect ratios haven't seemed to find a place for themselves in my head. One that was shown to me was 3:1, or 36x12 print size. Photo 937 is in this format. I dunno if I can get prints made in this size at Costco or not. But it's a different way of looking at things. The 2nd one is to use the sky and clouds as an element in the photo and using portrait orientation rather than landscape. Photo 987 is an example of this. I probably otta clean all the stuff outta the background except for the car. This is a case where I really DID try to minimize the background junk...but this was the best I could make of it. The reason this came up was on the next-to-last day of World Finals, the koolest cloud formation appeared over the salt. Photo 975 shows one angle of it (facing to the east) in landscape orientation and photo 997 shows the rest of the formation looking to the west in vertical (portrait orientation.) I left the burn thru of the sun in the photo because...well, frankly, I just don't know how to deal with it in any other way. Comments very welcome...please. :) RtR
