Any outdoor photographer knows that clouds can often add a lot of power to a photographic scene. Whether you're using the clouds as an addendum to another subject or specifically making them the center of interest, the ever-changing nature of them makes them something worth coming to grips with in your outdoor and landscape photos.
If you really want to hone down into using clouds and incorporating them into your photography, then we recommend you take a look at Kent Dufault's book on landscape photography. It will give you all of the essentials for taking photographs like these.
Photographs like these can be very powerful, but usually require a good grounding in landscape and outdoor photography. For that you should check out Kent DuFault's guide to the topic.
If you have any photographs of clouds of your own that you would like to share, be sure to leave a link in the comments!

Thanks for posting
I LOVED these! Thanks.
Love this.
I have a lot of fotos of the clouds, some of them I would love to share. ❤️💜
All of the cloud photos are fantastic images frozen in time by talented photographers. My favorite is the dramatic B&W by Olivier de Sadeleer. I am an amateur photographer, almost totally retired. I always look up when outside, this is the image I caught a few days ago. oops, I don’t see a place to leave my cloud image.
These photos are absolutely incredibly! Clouds are one of my favorite things to photograph, and while mine are nowhere near this good, I do have some that I am pretty proud of! Unfortunately I don’t have a website yet.
Fantastic!
