Primary focus for this thread was originally for HIDs and spotlights. But heck if you have a hand held or an EDC that cooks clouds then by all means... post those pics too!!

Not a very good photo of the 400W HID vaporising the clouds. (Or actually making sure they stay in vapor form.)

A place in need of light.
Yah, my favorite, cloud shoots are the ones with shadows in them. If I can't quite tell if I'm hitting the clouds I'll aim my light past the top of a tree to see if I can make a shadow, if so, then I'm hitting the clouds:thumbsup:.

ez78, that is definitely one of the coolest beamshots I have seen. Seeing the shadow of that power line on the clouds is smokin', thanks!

The next time I see that someone has fired up one of those huge searchlights that are visible for 30+ miles (old military carbon arcs that get rented now and then), I'll try to grab a shot of the light hitting a cloud and making a secondary beam from the bounce.
