I’ve recently developed a fascination with photographing clouds and sunlight. Fortunately, since my camera has a preview screen, I can take pictures of the sun without directly looking at it, and the results have been pretty amazing. However, my big love has been clouds. Clouds are like snowflakes–no two are ever the same. Unlike snowflakes, though, the clouds are constantly changing shape under the force of wind, heat, and humidity.
While I wasn’t sure what good photographing clouds would do, I was able to use some of my work in a video for Martin Page’s song, “Count on Me.” Here’s the video, just in case you want to see what I’ve done:
I’ve taken many more cloud photographs, but I’m not sure what I can do with them. They’re beautiful, though, and I’ve noticed interesting things about sunlight behind clouds, and it’s been fun spotting different clouds and finding imagery within them. Perhaps one day the cloud photos will be something of use for something besides a Martin Page video. We’ll see.
