Couldn't think of a title to describe this afternoon and evening better really, wild was probably a litle mild to say the least, very heavy rain, hail, wind and even sunshine all in one go really and also a rela drop in temperature

Bit of a tighter crop on 28 and it would be an absolute beaut, those rays!!! Some really fantastic shots there, love the thin strip of orange under the steely clouds in that last sequence.

EDIT: Obviously that's just my opinion, no offense intended. I think the shots are wonderful!

Super set Lee. What's going on in 7 & 8? Did it develop any more or just disipate? Looks mighty interesting !

Concur with Jez above re 28, it has the makings of a winner.
Might I respectfully also suggest that where there is a water horizon then it would be beneficial to rotate the photo to level it. Looks a little odd with a tilted sea !

Thanks for a great collection.

Thanks for th replies


I will need to sort them out again in future at some point here are a few panoramics

I have to agree with what previously been said 28 is very good
It's also quite amazing what difference it makes to a photo if the horizon isn't level, if it's off even just by a degree or two, it can throw the whole photo off balance.
Nice dramatic set though well done

Great cloudscapes. The sort of day when, if aided by some appropriately chosen music on my headphones, I could happily spend the whole of it just watching the sky.

Great pics!

Not sure if it is just me, but your skies look a lot lot better in this set, different pp software?

Cheers for sharing.

[Dave Hancox]

Nice stuff Lee particularly like no 21 with the spotlight ray.

[Jason Smith]

Great shots Lee, something we need more of from members, the panoramics are stunning and are what calendars are made of. Great Job.

I hope the images look more sharper and clearer than before as I know I had a lot of issues with previous images wiith the resolution contrast ect to make it more viewable to the different screen, browser friendliness etc, especially the pano's.


I have changed software to try compensate for thisto make them more defined.

This looks like convection resulting from a convergence zone. Was the system aligned East - West or North - SouthS. If East - West could it have been a sea - breeze front?

I think this is great set of photos Lee. I particularly like the panoramic shots as it takes good positioning of the camera to get a selection that will stitch without losing too much peripheral picture due to mis-alignment.

With regard to your first set of pics and the possible cropping or not of pic 28, I believe this is a very nicely composed pic. The focus of the picture is the crep rays, which are nicely placed at a 1/3 rd position in the frame. Furthermore, the reflection from these can be seen in the estuary below, which I love. It adds a nice bonus to what would ordinarily be a dull estuary view. It is my opinion that it is a great photo.



Well done.

Yes I think that probably sums it up best it was an outflow boundary/gust front of sorts that moved in from the north (moving north to south) crossing open water, the arch of cloud gives it away the best I think which is shown in the panoramic and the classic signs were noticable when underneath the boundary.


The temperature dropped, sharp increase in wind speed and a few spots of rain also fell right underneath it, all the photos were looking in a northerly direction

They do mate, its a noticable improvement, what are you now using if you don't mind me asking. I have a process of Lightroom and Infraview. I also use Photomatix when playing with HDR and bracketting.

Glad you got some booty there, may the season continue
