ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cloudscape (photography)

Imagine you're sitting in your backyard and looking up at the sky. You see big fluffy things floating around up there that we call clouds. Sometimes they're white and fluffy like cotton candy, and sometimes they're gray and gloomy like a rainy day.

Now, imagine you have a camera that can take pictures of the clouds. When you take a picture of the clouds, it creates a cloudscape. It's like a landscape, but instead of mountains and trees, you're taking a picture of the clouds in the sky.

Photographers use special techniques to capture clouds in their pictures to make them look really cool. They might take a picture of just the clouds or include the sky, the sun, or maybe even some trees or buildings on the ground to create a more interesting and beautiful picture.

People like to take pictures of clouds because they are always changing and no two clouds are ever the same. Also, clouds can make a picture look peaceful, dramatic, or mysterious depending on how they are arranged in the sky.

So, next time you look up at the clouds, you can try taking a picture with your camera or phone and see if you can create your own cloudscape!
