    Awesome picture Wings. I'm also a big cloud fan. Here was a fast moving squall with 30mph winds and driving rain.

    That looks a lot like a large smoke cloud--rather errie.

    Great shot!

    No smoke at all, just a localized bunch of stormy clouds pushing up from the south. This was a few minutes earlier

    You want tornados? Move a couple of hundred miles west!

    I know, but the southern season is over. Time for Tornado Alley to heat up. Might be a dangerous May... we're way behind for tornadoes this year.

    In St. Louis we got green skies oten enough... and once I saw what might have been a 'shelf' cloud racing in. Haven't seen a green sky here, I don't think.

    Took these from my in-laws' house the other day early in the morning. The valley tends to be foggy, but this time I liked the rainbow effect in the sunlit areas:

    Really great. Can you tell us the details about camera, lens, filter, postprocessing?
    I'd love to get better cloud shots.
    If not now, when?

    Uhmm...there are no details. I just point and shoot. Here's the stuff smugmug says about camera details, that's the best I can do-I'm clueless:

    bowdown.gif Absolutely spectacular, Z-Z. Those clouds look like huge waves from a stormy ocean, breaking onshore. Fantastic images. clap.gif

    Agree. At first glance I thought the first pic was a large wave breaking. Excellent pics!

    So great it's humbling. It's the same feeling that keeps me from posting my shots on fredmiranda.com.

    I love to shoot sky pictures, but I've never had one turn out 1/10th as good.

    Here is a full moon with some low clouds drifting by. I was waiting for the sky to clear so I could view Mars.

    I would bet you have some great photos. I've had my digital cam for a little over a year. I've taken 2,500 pictures with it. I used an SLR for 30 years, but it took a while to get my confidence with my new digital. The great thing is, you can practice all you want for free. I'd love to see some of your pictures, and thanks for the compliment.

    Regards, Eric

    I'm sure Rutt does. He's obviously very experienced.

    I love that moonlit clouds shot, man. Another lovely shot.

    to edit them into a framed set :)

    Weather over Albuquerque.
    Sorry if these are not good pics. Took it a few years ago with another cheap Olympus. I'm just a novice. I was trying to experiment a little with light contrasts.

    Thunderstorm over Albuquerque, NM. Taken from Sandia Crest.

    This is a fire cloud from the Hayman Fire. Pic was taken early in the afternoon. Within a couple of hours, the clouds got so thick the sun ended up almost completely blocked out and it looked like nighttime.

    :nono Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You've posted too many good shots to be lucky. And I think you enjoy it too. Which means you might be on the verge of tapping into a new creative outlet.... and yer pocketbook. rolleyes1.gif
