Description
This is the unusual sight that greeted me as I returned home one Saturday evening, last fall. The wind was whipping around vigorously and the sky was changing violently. I grabbed my camera and tripod and started shooting from my front yard as quickly as possible.
The photo was taken from my yard on High Street in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA.
The ten shots that I captured, in fairly quick succession, were all amazingly different! This photo shows two cloud clusters that were actually moving in slightly different directions. The colors were just amazing, as the setting sun was illuminating the clouds from below.
This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 10D with a Canon EF 28-70mm f/2.8 L USM zoom lens. The shutter speed was 1/45th sec at f/6.7 @ 28mm focal length, ISO 400. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a Manfrotto 222 Pistol Grip ball head.
Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Awesome cloud scape. I have one similar, unusual, unique and beautiful fv
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very kindly, Byron! I think I just saw the shot in your gallery that you mentioned. You are right, it is really similar, with two layers of clouds moving in different directions. Looks like we are both drawn to a lot of the same subjects to capture. Best wishes, Gene
