Here are five tips to help improve your weather photography:

1. After the storm – As exciting as photographing a storm can be, make sure you are patient. The lighting and movement in the sky afterward can make for a really interesting image.

2. Alternative shots – Photographing details of weather can be just as powerful as a landscape, so try to take a different perspective the next time it’s raining.

3. Lightning – You never know where lightning is going to strike, so your best bet is to keep a steady hand and try to get in as much sky as possible.

4. Include foreground – Large landscape images give a good overview of what’s happening around you, but it’s important to give some depth. Keep some of the foreground in the shot to give perspective.

5. Filters – Remember, filters are your friend. EyeEm gives you a whole range of effects that can really enhance your images. Brightness and contrast can bring out colors and details that will create a dramatic result.
