Cloud Formations - Post What You Have Captured!

Aspire

I have managed to catch a few images of clouds in interesting shapes so thought I would share with everyone and see what else is out there In order from oldest to newest & the older ones a not the best as taken a few years ago on a small P & S;

I see one bird with long neck and wings to the left of the photo & poss a small bird near the middle..


Two Birds Embracing


Still looking - had to post it, crazy clouds


I think this one looks like a mermaid/angel..


Taken a little later of the above..


My fav is the two birds embracing - mind you that's what I see, it might look completely different to others! Enjoy and start posting what you have

Here are a few I wanted to add.

This first one looks like a key to the heavens to me. A closer shot in the second one.

From the looks of these nice images, I think I need to get in the habit of taking sky-only shots. I see lots of interesting clouds, but I have always been reluctant to take photos of just the sky by itself. For whatever reason, I seem to be stuck in taking shots of the sky/clouds that also have something standing in the foreground. Here is one from a while ago:

Sweet stuff! I love clouds, and I love photographing them.

Here's a few of my favorites:


Storm up in Oklahoma


Arches National Park. I loved the way these clouds lit up as the sun was setting.


Storm over flathead lake. Looks like a big shelf rolling in.


This was a spectacular sunset after a storm had gone through. I loved the contrast between the light and dark clouds.


Lightning over Great Falls, Montana. This huge storm cloud was probably 50 miles away from me when this lightning bolt hit.

Can't wait to see more!

At Sunset
I think I see a storm. This ugly thing hit Seattle 3 hours later, in Sept. 2007.

While not as spectacular, I was in construction traffic just waiting to move and caught this image of a lady's face looking up.(looks like a face to me, ymmv)

Hey James , that Great Falls lightening shot is spectacular..

Holy Moly! Those are some awesome mamatus clouds. I think I would have been heading for my basement.

Clouds from the other side; I don't take that many shots from an airplane anymore, but I kinda liked the pattern.
They weren't actually that high, the tops of this layer were only about about 3000 ft Above Ground Level.



Taken with a G9, and cropped a bit. No other PP.

Nice captures here

Jeff seems to have caught the evil stepmother version of mammatus

Here's mine from a few years ago. It's from the campus of the Helsinki university of technology - and from my vantage point it looks like the physics department had blown up.

Hi Sensi and welcome to Dgrin!

WOW!! That is NJ? I grew up there and never saw clouds like that. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/eek7.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" >

Just a fun photo:



The cloud mass didn't get any smaller even two hours later, but it never rained:

My first post with pictures here

First is not a great shot, but the cloud formation was way cool. I only had a point and shoot at the time. This storm dropped a tornado about a mile from my house after it passed over.

Just saw this so one more: Fronts coming and leaving this valley area
often produce this as seen. Fun to be off and try to capture.

I'll do a little digging, but I've got some shots of the monsoon clouds that usually built up over Mingus Mountain (AZ) before rolling thunder into the Verde Valley...I used to live in Cottonwood AZ (not far from Sedona) until a year ago.

I WILL miss the monsoon season and the scenery there.:cry

BUT, if you got mountains and no job, all you got is "poverty with a view".

Well, I forgot that I had taken a few evening shots just yesterday just south of Midland. I'll let YOU decide what the clouds look like. Oh, taken with a Nikon D200 on manual focus, 1/30 sec and f 11 (ISO 100), and with a Tamron 75-300 set at 75mm, more or less (less means stripping some threads, so that wouldn't work).
