Interesting Landscapes With Cloud Formations

Interesting Landscapes With Cloud Formations
A Collection Of Photos From Various Destinations In The Philippines

Clouds, some of the most regular accessories of the skies, I say accessories because they adorned our skies in whatever season. Makes up for what would have been an empty and plain cloudless horizon.

As a budding landscape photographer, we develop the habit of checking the weather, gauging the possibility of rain by the drifting clouds and how much shadow it can cast over the landscape. I have to admit, I have become a sort of weather forecaster especially if I am on a travel adventure trip. I have mentioned this before, that taking landscape photographs in midday while the sun is high up is not a very ideal situation, because the shadows are pooled where the interesting details would have been causing most of the photos to look flat, it can’t be help sometimes that when on the road, you don’t have much time to wait for the sunset or the late afternoon or early morning, I can only be in a certain place at a certain limited time. As is, for the most part I have to make do, the only salvation I get as always are the clouds, especially the ones that carry rain, brooding and looming darkly above the horizon. Not only do clouds make a landscape photo more interesting, it adds character to it and also diffuses the direct sunlight that would have otherwise render the photos flat. 

I started out actually discarding most travel and landscape photos that has heavy clouds on it, amongst hundreds of photographs that I get to bring home every time, I have to choose those that would support my travel stories and articles. This time as a way for me to look back to all the places I have been in this beautiful tropical country of the Philippines, as one that is always besieged by inclement weather, typhoons and weather calamities, I am sharing these photographs, some for the first time while others had already been posted. I want to show that brooding clouds and ominous rains aren’t always a bad news, especially for photography enthusiast like me; in fact they probably are what I needed to make my photographs more compelling and one that tells a story.
