Description 180 degree, north to south panoramic photo of the base of a supercell thunderstorm in western Oklahoma. In this photo, you can see more of the counter clockwise 'hook echo' or circulation of a wall cloud. The distinct lowering can be seen peaking out from behind the column of rain. I am really pleased with how these shots turned out and the color really is amazing. On one side there are the warm highlights from the sunset and on the other side are the cool colors cast in the shadow of the strengthening storm. There is probably some science associated with this, but my parents and their parents before them have always said, "that if the clouds appear greenish in tint, there is hail on its way!" And let me tell you that this is definitely true with this storm! You can see some of the aqua green in some of the clouds on the left half of the picture.

Here are other pictures of the same storm: [link] & [link]

Really great shot!
I love storms like this, and being from Oklahoma, I get to see them a lot! I really love the wide panorama. It lets you see so much, not just the funnel like so many other pics like this.

Wow. Absolutely stunning... It's almost hard to believe this photo is even real!
I just can't believe the radical change in atmosphere from one side to the other.

It really does give one room to pause.

That "greenish tint" is wonderful against the steel blue of the rest of the sky. And it falls off so quickly. I love it.

Spectacular shot! I suppose there are are mixed feeling when one is looking at this: awe at the forces of nature (and perhaps even some fear), and incredible joy over having been able to capture something like this in a perfect way. Congratulations on this stunning shot and the well-deserved DD!
