Prelim crudely processed images of the high-based supercell Strong City to Foss Lake, OK | I don't have much time to process images the way I like them, plus the
fact I'm on my laptop with crappy color gamut so it's tough to work
with these. In due time, I'll post better versions of these,
especially the saucer-shaped updraft at sunset overlooking the pond.
These will require some more involved dynamic range increasing using
several exposures... fortunately I was shooting on a tripod at that
time. That was taken just west of Foss Lake (~ 5 miles southeast of
Hammon, OK). This was a very photogenic high-based supercell --
exactly what I was hoping for!
