Why I Love Clouds

These were taken a week apart. Though not at exactly the same location, it's close enough to show the difference. The second image is the typical sky most of the year.

Come to Michigan, we have clouds galore and they can be very dramatic.
Thumbs up on the pics!

I've been to Michigan, a couple of times. I am aware of what you speak. They can be very dramatic. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Some (but not I) would consider it "cheating" to change the sky in a photo. You can do that in Photoshop, abeit fairly laboriously, or with relative ease using a product called Landscape Pro. Here's an example:

Dan, you can do that in Photoshop? Who'd have thought? Wow. 
Quiet honestly, I did something similar for a real estate salesman, who was a friend of mine. This was back in 1971. He picked the worst day of the year to travel to some land his company was selling. It had everything, but clouds. Just one of those days. When we finished the ready for production prints, there were beautiful clouds hovering over the property.

Another thumbs up, particularly the first one. Like the B&W treatment too

Boy I can totally relate to your comments. The second one is a a result of what I call "severe clear" weather. We have that in SoCal a majority of the time. Clouds are such a treat!
And you have outdone yourself, I did not know that was even possible. That first shot is magnificent. I found myself staring at it for a long time. What a great job you did capturing that fabulous light.

Thank you very much for the invitation. I grew up in the midwest and I love the summer clouds. But solid grey is just a bad as solid blue. I recall that there is a season there when y'all are having severe grey interspaced with a few crystal clear days, when the sun is short to shine and low on the horizon and the temperature stays below 0 F. I'll take the the severe clear weather here. It's better for my mood. ;)

Nice work. Are you available for hire to do PS post work?

What a difference! The second shot is nice, but rather ho-hum. The first is spectacular. These would make a great illustration for a photo class.

Actually, I love the second one. I think our "severe clear" is quite dramatic, and I love it. Clouds are nice, too, as they are more rare and are quite pretty (until they dump their load, of course).

Oh yeah, #1 is so much better than #2. I personally hate clear blue skies, whether shooting landscapes or macros. Good b/w conversion BTW.

I love clouds and for me they are usually the difference between a good shot and one with the wow factor. Your two shots exemplify that for me.
