Clouds are always a cool subject.
At least one thing should b taken care of ,,,if it is not morning or evening,the sun should not b in veiw.And also a little part of landscape should also b included so that there could b an idea of the correct size of the clouds for the veiwers.

there are many ways to take pictures of clouds, and they're always interesting coz they're always different. you may have a look at an example i took with a disposable camera.
it depends on whether you want to include structures into the image to set the scene a little bit or not, as sometimes that adds the attraction.
if you just want clouds, it's beautiful near sunset when there are clouds just covering the sun a little bit, it provides a good mixture of hues and gives beautiful outlines to clouds.
hope it helps! have fun.

The best photos I ever took of clouds were out the window of a passenger jet. Nothing quite like seeing them from the top. Short of that, try a telephoto lens (maybe 210mm) with a contrast filter. Best of luck!

If you shoot b/w film, use a yellow or orange filter. This will darken the bright blue sky and make the clouds stand out more. If using color film, use a polarizing filter. Again it will darken the blue sky and make the clouds stand out more.

If you're using a SLR, buy some infrared film. This film picks up some interesting details (and can work really well with clouds). This is possible for digital as well. Have fun!

Just take a normal picture, and if that does not work, try using something that has a higher meag-pixel rating.

aim at the sky with your back to the sun and go "click",
for a little variety, do the same thing but catch a little skyline
or treetops in the bottom of your viewfinder

use a polarize filter.
