Description
MillionClouds is a web service that sells you the skies. Images from above the clouds, blue sky and storms, glorious panoramas. Shots of clouds, sunsets and sunrises. The unique, intuitive user interface allows you to select images that match multiple parameters. You can search by color, quantity of cloud or rain, light direction, and more. Each image costs €39, which includes a royalty-free license. The smallest image available was shot with a 10 megapixel camera, while the width of the largest panoramas is more than 13,000 pixels. The service is aimed at advertising agencies, media agencies, newspaper and magazine publishers, advertising photographers and graphic designers, along with architects, film producers and game creators – in fact, anyone who cares about the background, too.
