Sadly that's just the name of the game with nature photography. Sometimes the weather cooperates and sometimes it doesn't. If it's cloudy I will deal with it by pouting and feeling sad.

Get really sad haha. But it can turn out to be REALLY cool in the end if the clouds are thin enough in spots. We photographed and filmed the annular solar eclipse that just happened this past October and I think the clouds ended up giving it a more ethereal, unique feel! You can see the video here.

Honestly I love that video more than anyone's stuff from last year because of the clouds :)

It's a fine line for sure. Thin clouds can be spectacular, while thick clouds can ruin the whole thing. Nothing you can really do but put yourself in the best possible spot and hope!
