A few days ago a large cumulus cloud next where I live expanded upward and then once reaching it's atmospheric limit it expanded outward over me and gave a truly beautiful vista, and then shortly after that same cloud had a large multitude of visible cloud to cloud lightning and I was able to actually capture a bolt, which is pretty hard with my camera since it has a delay.
I hope you enjoy this rough mosaic with the moon in the upper-left corner (this probably covered about 100-120 degrees of the sky, so one shot just couldn't do it justice): Large version: http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/1...nmosaiclj1.png ![]() And here is the lightning (I had the gray scale set on for something else and had no time to switch, obviously) Large version: http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/5352/sdc10612fz8.jpg ![]() Then a little later that night I caught the moon close up: Large version: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/300/sdc10605br3.jpg ![]() And finally, a picture with a pine: Large version: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5875/sdc10796xt7.jpg ![]() My camera was a Samsung S860. Thanks for looking. |
