Here's a shot I took on Christmas day of some mammatus formations before a large storm cell came through. C&C more than welcome.

That's great Mark. You guys seem to have interesting cloud formations up there
Btw, not sure if it was deliberate but it seems quite blue.

Lovely cloud formation, it almost reminds me of waves rolling over you, when your on the sea floor.

Woah, amazing cloud formation, blue tint works well here... Like the framing that takes me from the bottom Left corner and radiating out... Very dramatic and brooding image.
One question, why ISO 800 and 1/800th?

Very nice cloud formations, I love the rippling and rolling. Personally, I like the blue as it seems to give it more density. It almost appears as something solid.

that was one damn fine storm on xmas day huh, I like your mammatus shot best of the lots I've seen since that storm.
it was far too choppy a pattern by the time I was able to get the d70 out and shoot it too.
