CLOUD is the vision of elemental photographer Mark Humpage - website . Mark has spent many years travelling and capturing breathtaking events such as Tornadoes, Severe Storms, and Tidal Bores to name a few. Much of his work has enjoyed National Press and Television coverage and a valuable network of media contacts has been established. This media partnership forms the solid foundation for the CLOUD News and Picture Agency.

The following pointers should be useful:

ALWAYS CARRY A CAMERA....It could be your next pay cheque!


Holidays
Most people take a camera or video on holiday. Lookout for anything unusual. It could be a shark or whale in the sea, a weird looking jellyfish, a huge wave, storms lashing the coast a strange looking cloud formation or local event with a strange activity. Anything that stands out take a picture, tell us the story and send it to us. This could be your holiday in the UK or overseas.

Weather
With massive media atention on climate change keep those eyes and cameras looking upwards to the skies. Tornadoes and funnel clouds (a spinning cloud not in contact with ground) are more common than you may think. Capture one of these and there is a high certainty we can get this in the newspapers for you. Strange cloud formations are also required. Sometimes clouds take on strange shapes, such as UFO's or Jellyfish and much more.

Events
Festivals, balloon, fireworks, or other events can produce sensational photos and make great stories. Unusual activities do frequently occur at many events. Keep you eyes open and cameras ready.

Nature
Natural disasters have and will always continue to occur. If you should be lucky (or unlucky!) to witness any event then please contact us immediately. Such events include floods, summer & winter storms, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, to name a few. If you have been involved in any natural disaster please contact us as these making fascinating stories.       

Sport
Attending a major sporting venue? Football, Cricket, Rugby or other sports venues are constantly in the news. If you capture something striking either outside the stadium or whilst on the pitch please contact us.

Hobbies
Most people have hobbies. If yours is an interesting or unusual hobby or you have some photos please contact us as these make great stories.

Hope this helps & we look forward to seeing your photos and reading your stories soon.
