As my morning in search of a sunrise nothing but clouds, but it was a beautiful show just the same. I used my Cannon 55-250 mm Lens set to AV with a ISO of 100. Wished I had my wide angle lens, but I was happy just to get the action of the dark clouds on the move. The only adjustment made to these were to convert them to JEPG for this posting. Any ideas which lens would work better?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice, still just a armature learning a new hobby for my retirement.
