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.

LOVE when the clouds do this at sunset. I just can't look away.

:D

nearing sunset, a hot Summers' evening

Great clouds, great weather, grubby windscreen. Driving across France towards Troyes

We had some fantastic clouds tonight!

I was out with a friend for a photowalk for the first time in... well, over a year I guess.

Turned out better than expected I think, and I've got more coming!

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.

Red sky over Baguio

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.

Thank you to all for your comments, faves, notes and expos!.-

August 8, 2004. I photographed this distant thunderstorm between 10 and 11 pm from my backyard in Fort Collins. No sound, just spectacular lightning. I used digital camera Cannon 10D on a tripod set up at ISO 800 and with exposure time from 4 to 10 second.
