One minute exposure with a FF fisheye.  Full moon-rise light hits the mountains. This a bit brighter than it looked in person, but I had to make it visible!

Great shot, Keith.  Impressive structure of the clouds, and the fisheye works perfect here.

Following Bjorn's image, here is another cloud reflection on calm water during sunset.

A contrast to the tranquil setting of a sheltered forest lake: thunderstorm building up over Oslo. I shot before the clouds broke open in a massive downpour with thunder and lightening all around.

Availing myself of the midnight sun, this capture was done in Lofoten at one of our latest visits, in the middle of the night. Nikon  Df, 400/5.6 Nikkor ED-IF.

Snow clouds.  Cropped from a 2-row-10-stitch image from 10 horizontal frames shot with D750 and 50/1.8G.

The spectacular clouds contrast well against the "mundane' city.  I'd make a print of this one.

I like your representation of scale. The clouds a magnitude and them some bigger than the man made buildings. Effortless magnificent. Strangely calming effect of looking at your image. Being a pano with so much information I will follow Pluton advice and print it. Big

  Thanks for sharing your clouds!

Keith and Paco, glad you like it!  The original 16bit tiff file has a little over 100MP, so the data is plenty enough for a large print.  The problem is to find the place to hang in my typical Japanese rabbit hutch!   :o :o :o

Iridescent ("mother of pearl") clouds. Not very common, they are formed at very high altitudes in the atmosphere.
