Sydney storm clouds

Postby bago100 on Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:12 pm

My dad was saying that Sydney had some spectacular storm cloud formations on TV.

Did any of our Sydney members tear themselves away from sensor cleaning duties or lens comparison tests ar Birdies place or payment of GST to customs processes, to get a photo or two of these clouds? :D

Would appreciate a photo posting please

Thanks

What day was this?

We did have a massive hailstorm pass through our place yesterday. I was too busy rescuing my pets to bother photographing it. It was big too - golfball sized chunks of hail, massively loud hitting our iron roof. Lasted no more than 20 mins.

Onyx

I think it was yesterday.

I posted this notice right after speaking to him on the phone yesterday evening.

Hope your pets are OK, and your car also.

Sounds like it was a bad one and nobody wants those

Cheers

Nothing special, just a few quick grabs.
All photos with standard lens, most hand held.
No post processing other then resizing for the web.
Cheers.

Great stuff Flyer :shock:

The cloud images you have captured there are what is called Mammatus.
You will see this type of cloud before or after a servere weather event & with a sunset behind them, can make for an awesome image.

Cheers
Ray :P
