The clouds were shot from my Back Garden on a Nikon D3 with a Nikkor 80-200mm VR Zoom. The file size is 4256x2832 uncropped and 50mb in size, that's generally how I get my cloud shots. Patience and more patience!!
I just increased the contrast a little and added a little saturation to make it look like I'd used a polarising filter.
I agree though that getting cloud shots is hard.
I have a friend with a helicopter who has agreed to take me up, as long as it's praticle, the next time we get some good cloud cover. I can then get some aerial shots looking down over the cloud base...if it all works out, with some low sunlight shining across them! Here's hoping for that to work out!
BTW I am a Professional Photographer, so I carry a camera with me always, and that's how I get my cloud shots. I see it, I take it!
Cheers, MP
