Apparently I captured a rare cloud formation (video + pics)
 

A few days ago, one of my FB/G+ friends was commenting on a photo I had posted. It was of a newly named formation called the Asperatus. I honestly had no idea if they had a name or not, I just thought they were very cool, and every time I saw them, a tornado or severe thunderstorm would soon follow.

Anyway, I had lots of cool cloud photos from my storm chasing last May, then the cross country drive in July. I put together a short video of some highlights on YouTube





All the stills of my favorites can be found on GotBaddog.com

A couple samples

Thanks. I loved it looked like you could see the pressure systems developing.

looks like a giant pussy sideways :winkwink:

Not as defined as I've seen before but nice captures nonetheless.

cool! congrats

Wicked photos man! How long were you out shooting on this particular run?

I'd love to explore the mid west. Some nice people I met travelling through years ago, never had a chance stay a few days and really get a feel for the place.

that's looks spooky

tres cool bd

I love evil looking clouds like that :) Almost makes man seem so insignificant

The first part of the photos came from when I went storm chasing in May. I think I was out exactly three weeks. The second portion was in July and covered about 10 days.

I was at my sushi place last night and my chef was asking if I had taken them around here. I told him people would flip out if they woke up to clouds like these over Hermosa Beach. :1orglaugh

We are.

The one over the smoke shop looks wicked, cool pics!

Very cool pics!

woah, great shots!

That's pretty sweet.

Bad weather we got nowadays.

I was headed towards Joplin, MO when I came across that storm forming. I was so damned cool, I can not even put it into words.

As I was approaching Mount Vernon I saw this shaping up and really hoped there was going to be somewhere I could shoot it from. I lucked out.

All the warnings said to find shelter away from glass windows, so I scoped the area looking for a place to dive into if need be, but it seemed like every business in the town had huge window fronts.

As I shot it I discovered that the storm I had been watching through my viewfinder had actually moved on top of me. What an adrenaline rush it gave.

You and your camera baddog. :thumbsup

Cool pics :thumbsup

The first pic looks like the apocalypse. :)
