Mammatus clouds are some of the most unusual and distinctive clouds formations with a series of bulges or pouches emerging from the base of a cloud. The shape of mammatus formations can vary widely; from the classic protruding shape, to a more elongated tube hanging from the cloud above.
Cumulonimbus clouds are also known as thunderstorms, these clouds are huge and often unstable. Mammatus clouds often form on the most unstable cumulonimbus, meaning that there is also a chance of hail, showers and lightning in the vicinity. Sometimes mammatus may form on other cloud types which produce no rain, though this is far less common.
Mammatus comes from the Latin mamma which translates to "udder" or "breast". Their striking appearance is most visible when the sun is low in the sky and their pouches are framed by the sunlight. This supplementary feature is a firm favourite with many meteorologists and cloud enthusiasts.
The last of three. May the light of this new year bring forth warmth, abundance and and clear sight in this time of great change. This beautiful star of ours provides us with all we need. Let it not blind us to the equally powerful Darkness. Please dress in black. Peace.

BEST LARGE ON BLACK! Backing up all my images onto a new hard drive, I ran across an evenings shoot I did not develop. Can't believe I forgot these images. Here is one from that night. The clouds exploded with color as the sun set.
Barn in the Vale of Evesham, Worcestershire, England under sunrays (HDR image from 2 original captures using Photoshop to blend)
Any good? Tips? I was going for a reasonably natural looking effect to capture a scene which I would have struggled to capture any other way. It's ended up a bit darker (to emphasise the sunrays) and a bit more saturated than I remember the real scene.
This was a day i liked what i saw in China, real thick clouds moving and switching the sun off and on. was simply amazing to watch. had me remember when i was younger.
i did this shot with my d5100 at an interval of 20 secs.
enjoy
I was driving home yesterday when I saw this in the field. It had rained really badly, but there were some clouds left in the sky. The sun was shining really bright behind the clouds and it resulted in these awesome sun rays. I was like I HAVE to shoot this. Even my mom recognized the awesomeness of this shot so she drove back a bit so that I could take this shot. I must say that I had hoped for it to be a better shot, but in the end I still like it a lot :)
Actually it's an HDR from three exposure created using the auto exposure bracketing.
clouds seem to be able to provide me with continuous inspiration....taken during a break in the action at a soccer game....
