OK, OK, sometimes blue skies are really stunning against, say, a white Greek building with a terra-cotta roof, and I’m not going to sit inside just because there are blue skies. But I think cloudy and stormy skies are so much more exciting. Rain and fog can be amazing, too.
Bit by bit, I am updating and moving some of my blogs over to YouTube. The one for this post may be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws2Zn6irlvY
Don’t be afraid of inclement weather. Use it to your advantage. Celebrate it in your photographs as I did in the examples to the left and in the YouTube video above.
We always enjoy comments.
We hope you will LIKE this blog (just above the blog title above) and SHARE it (below) with those interested in photography and travel along with the following:
Nice work! I was teaching a photo class two days ago; the weather forecast was for cumulus clouds, going to be a great day for shooting. There was only one small cloud all day – bummer. I love cloudy days!
Mark,
So glad you appreciated the blog, and we also love that you enjoyed the samples of non-cloudy days.
Take care,

Beautiful images! Every one a winner! I couldn’t agree more about inclement weather being special. Saturation of colors and varied and every-changing lighting makes it a very special time.
Thanks, Dave. We appreciate your comments, and we’re delighted you enjoyed the images.
Yes, give me storm clouds any day, although sometimes it’s challenging when you’re shooting into driving rain! I think what I love about weather is that it is always moving and changing. Mark Twain said something to the effect that if you didn’t like the weather, just wait a minute. I always say, “Mother Nature has a mind of her own.” And some wag offered, “Yes, there will be weather.”
Take care,

I like these images. I live in Boise, Idaho and most of my images of sceneries have clouds. I usually wait to have clouds to shoot and it’s pretty easy in this area. Whenever I go up to the mountains, there are usually some clouds somewhere.
Marc,
Glad you like them. We love shooting in and around Boise where my elder daughter and her family live. There are, indeed, great clouds there, adding drama to some beautiful scenery.
Take care,
TBC
