This is a cloud photo that I am proud of. Lake Norman in North Carolina. Beautiful place.

Beautiful images of clouds. These are great shots and some with lots of PS to create their mood.
Here is one of mine.

Very timely article and pictures. I have recently attempted to take some cloud pictures with only so-so success. I now feel that I will get better pictures in the future due to your help.

Thanx

Okay it’s time to go buy some filters and stop relying so heavily on Photoshop. This was a very inspiring read.

Many thanks!

These are very nice images. The images by Garry and ViaMoi are truly superb and really stand out. Some of the others really are highly processed, several are noticeably so. While that’s fine to do, it is not the “slight tweaking” that the article is describing.

I’d recommend being more considerate and thoughtful when people like Steve point out such things instead of being flippant and dismissive. What he’s saying is accurate, makes sense and shouldn’t be taken as an offense. It doesn’t take away from the great work you’re posting to acknowledge he has a valid point, such points thoughtfully considered can make good site even better.

I have some examples of natural and highly processed cloudscapes in my portfolio:

in my Landscapes gallery. Both approaches can work well depending on the image and intent.

Thanks for the article. I’ve been wondering about this as we’ve had some pretty spectacular clouds of late.

I’ve managed to tick two boxes (circular polarising filter and tripod) but may need to get myself a graduated ND filter and possibly a sky filter now. *sigh* more toys to buy ;-)

I really love these photographs, but lets be fair, how many are these are HDR images?

Yeah, I think sometimes we get a little caught up in the technical side of photography wondering about composition and technical concerns. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and admit that even though a photo may not be technically perfect, hey I like it!

From a non-photography perspective
& who simply enjoys beauty:

Wow...awesome series. Because we see clouds every day, we tend to take them for granted. But these shots remind us how wondrous and fantastic they really are.

Thanks for putting these together.
