Nothing in this frame but sky: rippled cloud lit from below, going from orange to violet as it climbs. I pointed the camera up and left the ground out; the sky was the picture. A long lens, to fill the frame with the texture, and the darker cloud at the edges to stop it floating off as pure pattern.
