Great thread. I know for a fact this works. First time tries are the best in my opinion because you're just having a go and not trying to impress
anyone, or yourself. You have to be in a quiet, non-distracted and thoughful mood.
My best day was years ago when the sky was full of those big
marshmallow/ puffball shaped clouds. They were all of even size and nice and separate and I just picked one after the other and melted them clean
away.
I know the sceptic will say if you watch clouds they'll melt away anyway. This is true but when you're on a cloud-melting mission, when
they're all fairly even sized, you pick one out and it disappears in a matter of a couple of minutes and the other ones haven't changed an inch, you
know you're really doing it. You really know.
I'm no good at it now, I've lost the focus but I regularly get the kids to have a go. I plan to
get this on camera one day.
Another thing I've noticed is with those high up frosty looking clouds. If I watch them for ages they'll turn proper
lenticular, saucer shaped. If I see one and ignore it it'll dissolve or spread out but if I stare it always turns saucer shaped. Clouds ARE wierd,
there's definitely more to them than we know about.
