How to shoot clouds in the sky

Clouds play a key role in many photos, which can increase the beauty of the scenery and balance the picture. For example, shooting buildings in the city. Take landscape photography on the boundless land. At this time, the clouds in the scene increase the aesthetic feeling of the picture. Another example is to take a picture of a vast and distant plain or ocean landscape. When there is no cloud in the sky, the picture will feel uncoordinated. At this time, if you can't find an object as a foil on the vast plains and beaches, the cloud becomes the only object that sets off the sky. When shooting scenes, we usually use filters in order to make the white clouds in the sky clearly displayed in the photos. After the filter is added to the camera lens, the passage of some blue-purple light in the sky is limited to a certain extent, and the blue sky shows a gray tone. In this way, the white clouds and the blue sky in the photo are clearly distinguished. Generally, when shooting clouds as a foil, it is more appropriate to add a medium yellow filter. It is best to use sparse white clouds as a foil to shoot a general scene, which is convenient to control the structure of the picture and show the guest and the host of the scene. But sometimes the white clouds are the main body and the ground scenery is the object. For example, when the level and shape of white clouds are good and the scenery on the ground is not suitable as the subject, white clouds can be the subject and the scenery on the ground can be the object. For example, when the level and shape of white clouds are good and the scenery on the ground is not suitable as the main body, white clouds can be used as the main body to make them occupy most of the picture. At this time, the exposure should be based on the brightness of the white clouds, so that the scenery on the ground is underexposed and the white clouds are highlighted. But the image of white clouds as the main body must be quite good, so as to give people a feeling of beauty, otherwise they should not be dominated by clouds. In summer, it is best to shoot the cloud scene in the morning and evening after the rain, or in the sunny afternoon after the rain, or before the typhoon comes. At these times, unexpected cloud scenes often appear. At this time, the exposure is easy to determine. After the thunderstorm, the sky was covered with thick clouds, and we took the clouds in the sky as the main body. At this time, if you use an automatic camera, you just need to take a photo and press the shutter.
