It was really sunny out, making it difficult to frame the shot (no optical viewfinder). The camera also couldn't stop down or adjust its exposure time enough not to blow out the exposure, but in post I was able to adjust it a little bit.

The clouds were out like this because the overall temperature was cooler than normal. It's not the same as in the Midwest where hot, sunny days can have really poofy clouds like this. If it's hot here, clouds are nowhere to be seen, and the sun is super intense. ☀️
