To haijekov: Your questions

[FrankDSLR]

Thank you, kov for the great comment.
The beauty of nature can be unreal. It was an incredible show from mother nature ;-)
Actually I stood on level with the ground in the distance. However I think the effect of the low clouds come from the use of my wide angle lens. I shot this photo in portrait mode, therefore the angle is very large and includes also clouds above me.

sorry if my questions are too beginner level ... i AM a beginner. but thanks so much for a very useful reply ... guess the very first thing on my next shopping list would be a wide angle lens for my camera :D
thanks again,
kov

Oh, you don't have to excuse yourself. This is the way we learn and I think a wide angle lens is not commonly used in vertical mode to include a larger amount of the landscape. Have fun with your wide angle lens ;-)
