Grabbing my little point and shoot camera I dashed outside and hoped upon hope that I would be able to capture the magnificence of the stormy sunset sky.
Photo above...Huge thunderheads dominate the sky, diffusing the golden glow of the setting sun. These pictures were taken facing south, looking over the rooftop of our neighbor's house.
Photo below...Close-up of the billowing thunderheads.
Photos below...Stormy Sunset Sky facing west. Taken in a series as the sun made its journey below the Earth's horizon.
So I have shared my evening with you and pray that you've enjoyed this glimpse of my stormy sunset as much as I enjoyed photographing it.

Wow, you got some amazing pictures! For some reason, where our house is in relation to the setting sun rarely makes for interesting pictures. Either that or my camera sucks. Or...maybe I just stink at capturing those kind of pics. LOVE your cloud show :)

ReplyDeleteI bet you were blown away by the beauty. I am scrolling down going "WOW" over and over. Love them. I feel like I am actually there. :) T.

ReplyDeleteUh oh, I think you missed your calling - not everyone can make photography look like art. Great job!

These are truly beautiful photographs! I love that you were actually able to capture the few moments when the clouds are gorgeous without having them shift on you first. The contrast in the clouds on the last picture is particularly beautiful! What setting(s) did you have your camera on? What kind of camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteWhat is truly special about these photos is that they are untouched in any way by photo editing. I was really "blown away" as I viewed them from my camera card on my pc monitor.
ReplyDeleteFollowing you too Almost Precious. Those pictures of the storm are absolutely beautiful. Amazing that they are untouched. Great photos to submit and get recognized for such great photo work, I'd say. Loving your blog.

ReplyDeleteoh, how cool!! i miss this kind of weather -- we don't seem to get many thunderstorms out here at all. my dad and i used to enjoy watching those big puffy clouds expand, and guess how long before some monster storm would hit. it drove my mom nuts, but it was fun.:P
