Cloudscape - a Thunderhead at Sunset

[AlanLichty]

Got some nice conditions this evening with a few thunderheads bumping up against the Cascades and giving me a neat little show. The sun is setting behind my drone location but is lighting up the top of the thunderhead. Cycling through my lenses I saw some interesting possibilities and took a couple of panels worth of a pano with the 166mm lens. No ground in the frame - just a true cloudscape. Click through for a more detailed version.

C&C always welcome.

Looks like fun! Are you able to meter the red channel through an app that is linked to the camera?

Thanks - I have a histogram for exposure but it's not that specific.

Fascinating colours Alan.

Thanks Trent - the color in the west had faded but the top of this thunderhead was just reaching it's peak.

Very cool Alan! Great job on just focusing on the clouds.

Thanks Jim - more to come. I was having fun with close in shots of the color show in the clouds. I processed this one a few minutes after I came back inside.
