Lately, the rains have been causing havoc in the country in line with the weather man's prediction. One moment it's shinning and another things are being washed away.
Roads have been washed away and houses as well. And unfortunately caused fatalities in many parts of the country. Many problems have been caused by this weather. Like the other day we almost had to swim in our own compound back at home. It rained heavily for the better part of 20 mins and after that, looking at the rain water, I was sure that a dam near us had just burst it's banks even though no such dam exists.
However with all of the destruction that has come, good things will also follow. Like I know we stand a better chance in terms of food security.
Another good thing is the clouds which have been appearing are a photographer's dream. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, taste etc.... Ok maybe 'taste' was an exaggeration.lol.
Anyway for beginning photographers maybe you may have seen pictures where you wonder how the clouds were shot to achieve so much good detail.
These are shot using a small aperture (I'm assuming knowledge of aperture basics.) If you own a dslr or a camera where the aperture can be manipulated, you can experiment with different apertures. Starting from the largest to the smallest. You will notice that as aperture becomes smaller the details in the clouds increase.
So that's the beginners guide to dramatic clouds. Thank you.
