    Angry Sky

    A severe thunderstorm produced this impressive shelf cloud on Wednesday evening. Sixty mph winds, small hail, torrential rain and a tornado warning accompanied this storm. I shot this with a new Sony a6500 with a Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 wide angle at 1/15 second at f/2.0 @ ISO 1600 handheld. Conditions were pretty dark so the image is noisy, most of which was eliminated in post processing. I adjusted the image in PS to give it a more dramatic and threatening appearance which matches my impression of the event.

    Both of these are really dramatic and exceptionally well done, Paul. They serve as a good reminder that it has been way too long since you last posted.

    Very angry sky, nice shots.

    We have had some heavy storms hit Ohio this summer.

    Beautiful shots both of them...I just wish you will separate your shots with a space in between.

    An impressive cloud and impressive image. I have never heard of a 'shelf cloud' and I have certainly never seen one.
