This Kansas storm developed just to our east and was filled with a fiery temper that fortunately, just missed us. The top photo was taken with our first inexpensive digital camera. Unhappy with the inaccurate results, I grabbed my 35mm film camera, zoomed in a little closer and shot the bottom photograph. When I had the film developed, I was pleased to see that the color was exactly as it had been that night. I remember talking about this cloud at work the next day with others who were fortunate enough to view its terrifying beauty.

That is so cool! We don't get clouds like that around here. Unless there are fires and it's smoke.
Great capture! Thanks for sharing with us sky watchers.
Amazing cloud! I've never seen one like it.

Amazing cloud! Great shots.
WOW! That is absolutely amazing! Fantastic capture.
Hope to see your critter photo for Camera-Critters this weekend.
They are just beautiful,both of them!
Auto-everything digicams often have a mind of their own when they try to render a scene. They have weird white balance settings, which, in certain scenarios, results in colors that are "pushed" to an average, not-over and not-underexposed setting.
Of course, it mucks up the shot. Which is why I'm so glad you pulled out the heavy iron. I felt fear looking at it on my laptop.
Mother Nature really does rule the roost on this planet, doesn't she?
Both photos ate totally amazing captures.
These are very powerful photos of clouds too! It's amazing the difference that shows between cameras.
Cheers,

The colors are beautiful. What an awesome looking cloud and I'm glad the storm missed you!
We get some lovely clouds and sunsets that would make beautiful shots too.........maybe I'll have to see what I can do with my camera. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I grew up in CA and lived most of my adult life there too. Now that I've lived in AR for nearly three years now, I have seen how the skies change and become wicked. It is amazing to see, and your picture captured a truly awesome sight.
I hope you have a good week, Lori.
:-)
