“Clouds” are the Photo Theme for March

Clouds – Nature often rewards us with incredible opportunities for photographing sunrises, sunsets and sun rays piercing through the clouds, creating stunning views. Sometimes it pays to wait for partly cloudy and stormy days, because clouds make photographs appear much more dramatic and vivid. Without clouds, sunrises and sunsets often look boring, forcing us to cut out the sky and focus on foreground elements instead. In contrast, if you get to witness a sunrise or a sunset with puffy, stormy clouds that are lit up from underneath with colorful sun rays, creating a fiery view, including the clouds in your photographs would make the scene appear much more colorful and alive. In fact, clouds can be so beautiful, that they could become the main element of composition in your photographs.

Create photographs that fit the theme and upload up to five of them to the club’s Monthly Photo Themes flickr group.  Please tag them with the key word fantasy.  Post them during March, not before or after.  That way they’ll appear together with other club member’s images.
