I'm still doodling with the atmosphere. This time cumulus + altocumulus + low cumulus for dust.
Turned out pretty well if you forgive the foreground which I had to blur because it was ugly :D
Photomatix for tone mapping + Photoshop for colour correction.
Render details:
3600 x 2400; Q: 0.715; AA:7 NC; GI: 1/3/8 SSP:on
Atmosphere: 64 samples
Altocumulus: 38 samples
Cumulus: 300 samples
Dust: 13 samples
Render time: ~17H
Wow, neat stuff. Love the variety in the clouds, and clarity. Very cool.
The wide lens and tone mapping give it a very heavy feel, I like that!
Wow. Fantastic clouds and excellent lighting. If you put together an eery terrain, this would be supergroovy. Dude. ;D

Like these metallic bubbles? ;)
Hm, metallic bubbles would be neat on this picture. I'd have to change the atmosphere and cloud colour though :-)
I'll try to make convincing sand someday, or a soil perhaps.
Too bad that rendering water takes so long and requires higher quality settings to get rid of visible triangles underwater as I'd make a long, shallow shore with this render.
Very interesting this research on the clouds!
super clouds...any tips/ hints??
Yes, the clouds are very interresting !

I agree with inkydigit - tutorials...or something, please. ;D
Yes, tutorial would be nice. I'll try to write something during this weekend :-)
Now that you've said it, I really would like to see it with a nice shoreline! :P
Great cloud forms.
Some clouds have really great shapes!
Very good work!
