Fun With Clouds

[AlanLichty]

We had a set of storms pass through a couple of days ago with a clearing right around time for the sunset. The show to the west was a bust but the lingering clouds over the Cascades caught some nice lights so I decided to grab a few shots. Just for grins I dialed up the 168mm telephoto lens and took a pano sequence focused almost entirely on the interesting shapes in the clouds.

C&C always welcome.

Now those are some fun looking clouds Alan! I like the shapes but also the pastel colors.

Thanks Jim - I have always wanted to be able to somehow soar through clouds like these but the closest I'll ever get is shooting images of them

I like the fluffy clouds and the pastel colors.

Thanks Jameel - the shapes at the tail of the storms seemed quite different than what we see with an approaching front and fun to play with.

Wow! Those are directly battle lines of clouds, perfect shot, Alan.

Thanks Peter - Clearing storms present some really interesting cloud formations with unstable atmospheric conditions.
