Woke up to quite the storm yesterday morning.  It started rumbling and grumbling and when I looked out I saw these neat cloud formations.  Before the rain hit, I grabbed the camera and took some shots.  I even stood out under the eaves and waited for some lightening, finally got one.

I tried to use the slideshow, but it didn't work. Hope there's not too many.

Thanks for looking, have fun!  :o)

    Congrats on the lightening catch!  I still haven't been that lucky.  I love the first shot and the others with the wavy looking clouds.  Those are some wild looking skies.  Great shooting Robin

  • Sunday morning comin down, oh! That's a song, not your theme....

    Like you clouds, they change so much so quickly. The contrast and exposure is good, hard to do with clouds sometimes.

    good going with the lightening, especially for a day shot!

    - So shoot already!!

Yeah, I'm a nut when it comes to storms! Thanks for sharing yours! Great lightning shot! Been tring for a LONG TIME to catch one. We dont have such wide open spaces here....

    No lightning for me either...good for you Robin! #4 really grabs me...love the drama of the sky against a thin pink strip and the contrast of a little line of trees.

    Very nice. I like the ones with a little sliver of sky beyond the clouds.

  • Wow on you storm snapper. Cloud3 looks ominous with that swirling eye in the middle. #4 is also a beauty as is your daytime lightning bolt.

  • Yes, what they said.  I like the variety of clouds in the first one, and the sliver of color on the horizon.  Lightning catch also - hope you were being careful!

  • Lightning storms and clouds are a photographers freind. I like your first one the best and took a peek with the landscape cropped out. I don't think that the land in the foreground adds to the scene. Your lightning shot is a good capture.
