I was thinking during my drive to work today that it would have been an awesome day to take pictures. Why? What made today so special? Was it sunny? Well yes...and no, but that's not it. Was the air clear and haze-free? Well yes, but that's not it either. The reason why is that the clouds looked amazing--like a never-ending army of oval-shaped, globular cloud-tanks were driving towards the front.
And then I thought about how amazing it is that something so simple--water vapor--can look so amazing. A scene taking during a clear day is nice, but for some reason, if you splash a cloud or two in the sky, it changes the whole scene for the better (in my humble opinion).
Below is a picture I took during our last family vacation. It is not what I would classify an "awesome" picture, but it proves the point (FYI: the reason why I took this picture is that it was literally straight down to the rocks, but you can't really tell). Imagine, though, if there were NO clouds in the picture. It would look okay...but because they're there, it adds depth and color to the photo, no?
What do you guys think? I'd love to hear...
Anyhow, my advice...the next time you go out taking pictures of friends or of nature (or of friends IN nature), pay attention to the army in the sky: they could be a great ally!
