Welcome - like the first one in particular. We actually have a Cloud Appreciation Thread ongoing here, which may interest you

Thanks Marky, I shall investigate

Nice - clouds really float my boat. If you intended to capture just the cloud formations then these are great. If you want to take it a step further where you use the clouds as part of an image which is interesting and a pleasure to look at then try incorporating principles of composition e.g the rule of thirds and having a subject and foreground detail etc. There's lots here on this site on composition and for me it was a super helpful starting point study and nail. You may know all this already and may not have been trying to achieve this in these shots so feel free to ignore me

Thanks for that Ted, In this instance i was just concentrating on the clouds but i do need to pick up tips regarding composition in general so thank you for your input.

You could save the cloud images n drop them behind a favoured image with a lifless sky?have you tried HDR?

Like in your avatar Aps? Did you drop that sky in? Cant see it big enough but looks like a cool sky

OOh Yeah! I haven't got to that stage yet, but a friend is going to give me a few lessons on photoshop soon I hope, so I will have a play.

I note that you live on the Yorkshire Lancashire border. I got some fabulous shots on the Burnley to Hebden Bridge road that goes over the top, passing the windmill farm. It must have been midday in June and it looked like the dead of the night with the thick heavy clouds. I also missed some great shots on the same road when the mist was in the valleys beneath the hill tops.
