The Official Storm Photo Thread!

[polkadotladybug]

I can't figure out how to "quote" my photo - LOL - but for the lightning shots I took - I used a tripod and put the camera on "continuous shot" and when I thought something was coming - I just held my finger on the picture taking button and got really lucky - I think I took over 500 pictures over the course of maybe 15 minutes - LOL I have a Canon S3. No way could my old Sony DSC-W1 have done this!

These are from a storm that rolled through on Monday evening ...

This is from a storm that is coiming over the mountains right now, into Tennessee from North Carolina. I am in Tennessee, over these mountains is North Carolina. No lightening yet, but I can hear a lot of rumbling going on, you can see the rain on the mountains, and the wind is picking up. Not a great photo, I wish the tree wasn't in the photo.

Here is the same view on a sunny day. The tree to the far right in this one is the one that is in the middle of the first one.

This is a storm that rolled through on 08-02-07 from the Gulf of Mexico.
Sorry for the poor quality taken with a camera on my Treo 650.

This is the result of our January ice storm.

Thanks. The lightning shots are cool, and I'd love to get a good one someday. The few times I've tried, I've done that too, but didn't get lucky.

This was one of my favorite shots:

Absolutely stunning. It looks like the mother ship is calling for its baby UFO ship to fly home...off to Alien land!

In San Diego, we rarely have inclement weather, so when we had the remenents of Hurricane Dean move through, we had some exciting weather. Woke up to lots of thunder and lightning and over 2 inches of rain in an hour.

And even on topic.

We have been many times while it looked like this. I kind of like it.

 

[Disneynut322]

Bump.

Thanks! I don't know why it turned out purple, though! I was hoping for some "forked" lightning, but I was glad to get anything. It's raining cats & dogs here today, too. And of course, it's the day that I have off and could actually go outside by myself to try out my new lens!

Awesome shot Merrywheather! It's always great when you can catch that lightning, its tough sometimes I tell you! Great job though!

Thanks! You don't know about the 100 shots of blackness that I also took!
