I tried to get some beautiful clouds the other day.. believe me i notice them.. but it takes more then clouds to make a great photo.. this was mine..just want to prove to you all just how much i love an exciting sky.. just need to get the big picture right.

I really like the first one's composition but my nitpicks would be that I'd lose the vignette and the foreground is a little fuzzy. I like the third one too but it could be a little brighter and I wish the bird was in the top left quadrant instead of bullseyed. I am a fan of treetops w/sky pictures. You've definitely improved just in the course of this thread.

thank you .,..i feel it in my bones.. i am slow but sure learning.. thanks for heads up.. i appreciate it.

One thing I learned the hard way with landscape.
many people (including myself) and as was previously mentioned, see something at a particular location. So we try to capture that.

One of my favorite types are tree cavalcades and portals.

Think Fellowship of the Rings where Frodo senses the Nazgûl and the trees start stretching out.

that can be captured but requires as was pointed out, slowing down, checking settings and placing the camera at the right location and angle.

getting on the ground can greatly enhance a particular view of something in landscape, along with a solid dose of unusual and weird camera positions and angles.

I opened a thread on tripods some years ago here and asked if anyone had ideas, tips or tricks on the use of a tripod and at first was ignored.
but once people started to realize that a tripod can be used in so many different ways and configurations, the images start getting much better.

Another example of Derrel's point (in a way ... kinda, ok I may be stretching it, but I thought I would give him credits) ...

I thought the cliffs and water were really cool to take pictures of ... but I think this image is boring.

one thing i really learned today... was slow down for landscapes.. there is nothing to hurry over..except maybe the changing sky.. sometimes sky can change in the matter of minutes.. but yes this is a big deal for me.. all the other photos i usually take are quick quick ... now i must breathe...relax.. take in the scene.. big difference.. should hopefully make a big difference too.. thank you.. one and all.. i will give this all some practice..
