Advice for Sky Photographers

Very good general advice for cloud spotting.
I think also that it is important, and more dramatic, the capture of the clouds and a portion of soil under them in sky photographs. However, sometimes this is not possible.
Thanks for the article.

Very intersting. A couple of points there that I would never have thought of, ie, using a snow or sports setting. Thank you.
Just began using my digital SLR for some cloud spotting, this guide is proving invaluable. Thanks a lot!
Reading this I have found some options on my digital camera the instruction manual failed to mention. Thankyou so much for the article! Off to go cloud spotting now!! :)
