Capturing Moments Wk 7: Application 4 - Sky Photography

Hello everyone welcome to my blog today I'm happy to participate in this interesting contest that @bossj23 organized much thanks to you.

Observe the sky with your eyes and mind for 5 minutes and tell us what you see. What if there was no sky? What would the world be like?

When I looked at the sky I observe the sky with my eyes and mind for 5 minutes and what I see was a beautiful display of clouds scattered across the vast blue canvas above me and the sun shining brightly through the gaps in the clouds also the fluffy white clouds seem to dance and change shape with the wind so the beauty and tranquility of the sky reminds me of the wonders of nature and the importance of taking moments to appreciate the simple things in life.

And talking about the sky without a sky i can still remember when I was still a kid I do think that without the sky God will fall down from heaven 🤣 that was the mentality i had then but now I have grown and learned alot and as a science student I will say that without the sky the world would be a never ending expanse of darkness, devoid of stars, clouds, or even sunlight and they will be No day or night cycle, no weather patterns, and no celestial beauty the plants would struggle to photosynthesize, animals would lose their sense of time, and even humanity would forever yearn for the unreachable heavens above.

Does the Sky add to the beauty of the environment and what are the benefits of the sky?

Yes the sky is one of the aspects that beautify the environment through so many ways. Continuously fading colours of the sky at the dawn and at dusk provides some of the most beautiful views that complement the cannon of the landscapes. Endless space above us gives us a feeling of freedom in the environment space associates us with something bigger than ourselves and besides the existence of the sky also serves the practical purpose of protecting space and objects such as the sun, the moon and stars or anything unbelievable in our world.

And in addition to it the sky has specific functions with regards to the climate control issues such as the filter of sunlight, temperatures and distribution of precipitation and it also provides home to some genus of lives such as birds, insects and clouds those are seen floating in the atmosphere and in general the sky is not only important as an aesthetic add-on to the environment but has functions as a resource essential to living organism in the world.

What challenges did you face capturing this Sky and have you even seen the clouds move in the sky? If yes, what's the reason behind this.

I hardly faced much of a problem in capturing the sky but the sun was disturbing in the process and yes I have seen clouds move in the sky and this is mainly attributed to wind currents at various levels in the surrounding geographical region so when the high and low temperatures and pressures of the air masses meet, it is winds and currents that then move the clouds about.

And besides, because of rotation, Earth is also responsible for apparent motion of the clouds across the sky, from one horizon toward the second one, all of these and other factors, including wind velocity and direction, fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and temperature differences between two adjacent layers of atmosphere all explain the constantly changing motion of clouds in the sky a science student will know better what I'm saying.

Capture 2 pictures of the sky by zooming out and by zooming in your camera. Briefly tell the differences between the two captures.

A		B

In this 2 pictures of the sky the first one which is A is zoom out with my camera to capture the sky you will notice that it include a larger portion of the sky and surrounding landscape and this can give a sense of vastness and expansiveness, showing the big picture of the sky's relationship to its surroundings.

While the other one is B zoom in with my camera to focus on a specific area of the sky you can see it capture more detail and depth within that specific area.

^{Thanks for reading my post I'm inviting @abdullahw2, @saintkelvin17 and @josepha to participate.}
