… a day makes! One of the best things about the bay area is that, even in the rainy season, we get crystal-clear blue skies much of the time. This is the same view from the deck 24 hours after the previous picture:
Here’s a rudimentary animated gif showing the transition from cloudy sky to blue sky. I’ve done these before using actual time-lapse photography (eg, one frame every hour or so), but for this I simply took the original frame (cloudy) then in photoshop, blended the second frame (blue sky) as a layer with an opacity of, say, 10%, then created another frame with opacity of 20%, etc, then created an animated gif from the frames (layers). Tedious but fun – I’m going to try to perfect and streamline the process!

clever stuff but a more interesting vista would improve it – perhaps a setting sun scenario. I don’t want much!
