Once again I am a little tardy in getting the latest image-of-the-month updated, but here it is!
Mammatus-filled eastern sky in the wake of a summer supercell across Southeast Colorado
Landscape photographers are always in search of that perfect "goldenhour" light. Much is the same for storm photography. The saturated softlight offered by the setting sun greatly enhances the mood of a scene,and when a dramatic sky is added to the mix, it can be an almostspiritual experience. After a big High Plains storms at sunset,photography opportunities are many times limitless. Details of thisimage: Nikon D3 body, 14mm focal length, 1/1600s @ f/5, ISO 400.Photographed August 12, 2008 during a southeastern Colorado storm chase.

Aug 12th I was in Colorado too, but in the Denver area. Terrific pics as always Mike, I wish I could learn how to get them to turn out like that! Any tips for a rookie?
