Sunset Super cell

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 9, 2011134 views5 comments

This super cell seemed to pop up out of nowhere this evening, building in the last couple of hours before sunset. Typical pattern this time of year here, and it felt like something could pop up all afternoon. This photo is looking almost due south, over a distant shelter belt. 7D, ISO 200, 1/60, f/11, 10 mm, partial crop, ~15 minutes before sunset, C&C always welcome and appreciated. I am going to post an alternate view next in the M&N gallery.

Nice, Rob--ive been watching the storms on radar. Some serious damage out in Iowa. Looks real bad for tomorrow.

Very dramatic cloud formation; like the movement and contrast with the blue sky. It's all about the sky, but think I'd like to see a tad more of the foreground.

This version looks more ominous Rob. I like the touch of color on the edge of the cloud.

You can almost see the clouds move and feel the wind kick up. Nicely done
