 Cloudy day at Palo Alto High School |
You can use clouds to create a very dramatic effect in photos. This requires putting the subject in the bottom of the frame, so as to include as much of the sky as possible. |

Another great way to frame clouds in a photo is to take it from an extremely low angle. For this photo, i was sitting on the ground below a friend of mine who was standing on a fire hydrant. This angle made the clouds appear very vibrant, and her body was cast into shadow. This technique is called backlighting, and it allows you to put emphasis on the background and the silhouette of your subject.

When you take a photo of something that is extremely tall from a low angle, you can use the clouds creatively to emphasize your subject. |
You can also use clouds in the background to increase the dramatic effect of the photo. In this one, it sets the mood for how you would look at the flags. There is a sense of patriotism in how they are portrayed. |
