I really like # 3. Looks like you could have gotten some intense showers out of those.
Title: Re: Gloucester Skies Today Post by: JohnC on August 08, 2010, 01:47:05 pm Thanks,Richard. I really like these type of clouds - I looked in my cloud book and they're nimbostratus with scud. We didn't get much atall in the way of showers,you'd think so wouldn't you. The US corn fields make a great contrast with the supercells and that's really where I first got a idea of how they can enhance a photo and that's why I like them so much-the green maize too is a good contrast. As I was standing just inside the field a startled fox was coming out of the hedge behind me but saw me and rapidly went back in.

I reckon you have more than Nimbostratus there, images 2 and 3 show convection, perhaps stratocumulus with some weak towers embedded.
