I'll stop there, more on my project though...!

@woot you're welcome, your images are stunning. @naladka so is yours naladka.

@sburbidge wow! you should make a calendar :) they are beautiful pictures

Hints & tips, under expose a little if you've got big bright white clouds.
Take lots of shots, bracketing isn't a bad idea if you're not sure about the exposure, you'll soon get a feel for what's right.
Oh, and always carry your camera, and take plenty of shots - did I already say that...? lol
December 28th, 2011
@sburbidge thanks for the tips :)
December 28th, 2011
Here is my latest. I bracketed my shot and processed as HDR.

Clouds are so fascinating, but I only have a couple...

I have a picture but am not sure how to put a picture in the comments box?

@jeweljaz99 Go to the picture in your project you want to post, go to the bottom right hand side of the page. You will see "share" and then a code. Copy the whole code, and paste it in the discussion comment box. The pic will show up when you hit "post reply"

@thebluegnu Those pictures are soo pretty!
December 28th, 2011
uh oh... i have tons!!













December 28th, 2011
Spotted your clouds earlier, Tracey - thought they were beyond beautiful! Just luhrve clouds and skies. I've snapped so many but this was probably the most unusual.... my very amateur advice would be to snap them as soon as you see them - sometimes they are gone in seconds.
December 28th, 2011
I took this one on Christmas Eve. I agree with @filsie65 , as soon as I saw this out of the window I went to grab my camera and only had about 5 minutes before the light had gone

December 28th, 2011
@filsie65 Thank you so much, I have noticed they can be gone in moments.

You all have such beautiful photographs! thank you all for sharing them with me :D

December 29th, 2011
i am obsessed by clouds, and constantly taking pics skywards... here are some of my best











December 29th, 2011
i find the best time to fotograph clouds is at sunrise....i have more luck at extracting the pinks oranges reds and purple SOOC, sunsets are okay....so if you like to get up early
December 29th, 2011
here is another one
December 29th, 2011
@justindereniws beautiful pictures, I think sunrise and sunset are the best times of day :) the light is just magical.

@sburbidge What is bracketing?
December 29th, 2011
@kimmistephens It's when you set your camera to take a series of 3 exposures at differing exposures above & below the 'correct' exposure. Normally you can set up to +/- 2 stops either way, though this could differ between camera manufacturers (I only have experience of using Canon)
Have a read here: http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Exposure/Auto_Bracketing_01.htm

@sburbidge Thanks!

@nadyaglawe Your third picture looks like little balls of cotton wool. A really unusual cloud capture.

@miraries Wonderful contrast between the deep blue-black sky and green countryside. Beautiful catch.

@nadyaglawe I love all your cloud photos, but #1 is my favorite.
