The importance of clouds

While photographing in England recently, I befriended a couple who were serious about photography and asked me for some help on getting the most from a travel subject.  One thing I pointed out to them was that while there were literally thousands of tourists a day passing by the same spot where they were standing, the only thing that changed daily was the weather.  I showed them that by incorporating the weather into their photographs, they could make the images particularly their own.  This is especially true of interesting cloud formations.  Here is a blog post I did on my Learn Photography blog site that illustrates this point more in detail.

Yesterday evening in New York I was treated to these interesting, multi-layered cloud formations that reminded me of this story.
