sean corley 0 Posted April 30, 2004 This shot of a storm we had in Brisbane (Australia) was taken by a friend on his point and shoot digital. I was reading the latest Nat. Geo. and in the article on tornados they have a photo of a cloud formation called the mother ship. This looks like the same formation. Link to comment
tyler_norman 0 Posted April 30, 2004 That's called a mesocyclone and it's one of the last things seen before a tornado. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 30, 2004 Excellent, nature at its most beautifull, feeling the force from behind my screen. Link to comment

jeff_henderson 0 Posted May 1, 2004 If I ever saw anything like that I'd probably be runnin' like crazy to get some place safe. What an awesome sight! Link to comment

roy1 0 Posted May 2, 2004 must be some kind of a new VR lens, cause i know you weren't actually stending still... you must have been running backwards towards your car when you shot it :)it's breathtaking. I love mother nature! Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted May 2, 2004 Hi Sean, I'm curious about what lens you used here... or is this multiple photos stuck together? regards, Andrew. Link to comment

ipeson 0 Posted May 3, 2004 A moment perfectly seized. Is the blue in the centre natural? I am looking for cheap fares to Brisbane hoping for an encore! Link to comment
dwscott78 0 Posted May 7, 2004 These are pictures of shelf clouds (http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/shelf01.htm) however I don't think that "Independence Day" is real. Maybe it is but in my opinion it looks "doctored". Link to comment
sean corley 0 Posted May 10, 2004 No "Doctoring" Dave, just USM and contrast adjustment. Link to comment
codepic 0 Posted September 12, 2004 Thanks Dave for the link. I especially like this one http://australiasevereweather.com/photography/photos/2004/0000cb01.jpg Now THAT looks dangerous... Link to comment
