Description
Ok, this was NOT photoshopped! Apart from a small contast adjustment, this is straight from the RAW file.
While shooting during sunset at Mono Lake, this massive storm came upon us. As the weather started to turn, I wanted to get a few shots of the clouds as they boiled over the mountains. I fired off a few shots and started heading with the group back to our cars.
Imagine my surprise to see this face in the clouds! Can you see the eyes? I know, they look Photoshopped, but they arent. Creepy! Thatβs just what I needed right before I went to bed last last. To make matters worse, there are pipes in the crawlspace under my desk that bang everytime the sprinklers go on and off. So as I lay in bed, I kept hearing knocking on the floor from the other room.
Obviously this isnt a great photo from a technical standpoint - you can see water drops on the lens, it's kind of out of focus and there's vignetting from the ND filter, but I still wanted to share this.Β

The face you point out is not the first I saw... I saw the upside-down troll to the right and above the right most pillar... he is grinning, and his other eye is covered by said pillar.

I suppose recognizing patterns is something quite subjective, although it feels objective.

Cool photo - Mono lake is a creepy place in stormy weather. Last time I passed by the lake was bright green and the water was being picked up and blown a couple hundred feet into the air. Almost looked like steam! Great work, now crop it!
