Multisource Storm Light

2020-09-26 By Roger Edwards

Multisource Storm Light

On a stormy Badlands evening, and off and on all night to the following sunrise, elevated convection trained behind an MCS and over the top of related outflow.   This time exposure allowed the last vestiges of indirect sunlight into the scene, mainly at lower right but also faintly through the distant core, while occasionally brilliant flashes of mostly in-cloud lighting illuminated from above. The combination of different light-source angles made the “scud cigar” cloud in bottom middle and right both illuminated and silhouetted.  With lightning soon winding down, occasional rain from the convection helped me to get what little sleep I could inside the vehicle, though the campsite itself was as scenic as one could expect for the price (free).

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
