Well, I haven't posted anything for a while because we have been in a bit of a
drought. As I traveled down state and back to Evansville, IN for a buddies' wedding I noticed that the crops aren't doing much better down their either. The farmers are starting to get a bit worried because this spring has been quite abnormal temperature, wind, sunshine, and precipitation wise. Either way, today looked like a good chance for some relief with a slight chance of some rain and possibly an
MCS that could produce some nice photogenic shelf-clouds.... Well, as the the system neared I was quite pessimistic about everything thinking it looked like garbage and unorganized crap (which it was -- below--). But, since I forgot what rain and storms looked like I decided to head to the south of town to try and shoot down the barrel of the outflow from the system.
I was hoping for a nice shelf but it just didn't get its act together. I decided to stay after dark and try and catch a few lightning shots but this far north there wasn't much lightning to speak of. The only chance I had was a nice crawler that I missed because I was in between shots and the camera was processing..... Those are the breaks. Lightning hates me. However, as I write this right now, we are getting some much needed rain and that is good. Below are a few shots I grabbed from this evening. They are a bit grainy (which I hate), but I had to digitally bring up the exposure more than I like because it was a bit darker than I anticipated. Enjoy.
