I-77 Clouds... by marlboromaam

I-77 Clouds...

We had some AWESOME clouds today and lots of wind. This pic doesn't do them justice! I was just driving down I-77 doing about 70 mph, holding my camera up, clicking away through the windshield and hoping I'd get one good pic!!! That's all I got! LOL! That's all I could ask for the way they were taken. Ha ha! More about this little trip tomorrow. This pic has not been processed other than downloaded and saved to my mac. No cropping, or coloring in any way.
Oh, that's what clear skies looks like! I totally forgot! Well, I can't complain, we haven't had snow or much for cold temps in a month, then in the last 24 hours we got 6 inches of snow and the temps seriously tanked. This is very pretty!
February 12th, 2012  
Wow, great shot. I'm impressed by your driving and clicking prowess!
February 12th, 2012  
great shot...looks like those clouds will be touching earth any minute!
February 12th, 2012  
Sweet pic! and you kept the car between the lines, always impressive :)
February 12th, 2012  
Beautiful clouds darlin' you have some skills to click and drive...lol
Now if I did this you would yell at me....but I'm not gonna yell...lol
I'm just gonna worry about your unsafe driving habits ;P
February 12th, 2012  
Must be a great camera. This feels like driving down a tunnel!
February 12th, 2012  
Ha! Well done MalborowMaam - I did the same "technique" last year driveing north on I-25 in Southern Colorado, fun and much safer than "texting"........
February 12th, 2012  
Great shot and very beautiful
February 12th, 2012  
Wow, great shot. I agree with Maggiemae, it looks and feels like a tunnel.

Kim
Beautiful!
February 12th, 2012  
Looks like you have been doing my trick, but at least it wasn't in a downpour. Big question. I-77 from where to where? Clouds look great
February 12th, 2012  
You know you're a photographer when you take pics out your windshield going 70mph !!!
February 12th, 2012  
Awesome clouds! Look forward to hearing about your trip!
February 12th, 2012  
Your photo turned out awesome! The blue skies are definitely beautiful with the wonderful cloud movement. But 70mph? Maggiemae, you have joined the league of insane 365ers. Hope that your trip was wonderful!
February 12th, 2012  
Beautiful!! Don't get in an accident
February 12th, 2012  
I'm so guilty of doing the same thing, lol.. It's just so hard not to snap pictures when the sky is so beautiful!! Love the clouds and your lines are pretty cool beans too
February 12th, 2012  
Before I even looked at your commentary or the larger photo I knew this was a motion picture of some sort because I felt sick - LOL! Don't take that the wrong way - that is a compliment on a great photo - it felt like I was in the car with you and the motion sickness kicked in! Brilliant!
February 12th, 2012  
What a great looking sky! It's amazing how much the sky changes with clouds.
February 12th, 2012  
Love it. I take photos through the windshield a lot and they come out great. Your sky looks like ours did today till almost sundown when it went totally blue. No wind here though. You are too funny as you did this yourself and I take photos while my husband drives. Glad you did not crash into anything.
February 12th, 2012  
awesome sky- be careful out there!! i do the same :) Maybe at 65 . . .
February 12th, 2012  
I take pics while driving on the freeway too, but in LA we have horrible traffic and rush hour traffic is pretty much 24/7!
Great clouds dear! Where are you going? hmmmm....
February 12th, 2012  
These clouds are wonderful!!! I shot a few things while driving today too but nothing as great as this.
February 12th, 2012  
beautiful clouds!impressed by your driving =)
February 12th, 2012  
@keyt427 This was on the way back. The clouds were a thick billowy gray on the way. Wish I had gotten a better shot of that! The wind took out most of them and our temps are dipping into the low 20s early this morning. Doesn't happen often in South Carolina but sometimes. Cloud cover does keep the temps up. Thank you for your comments, Keyt!

@meisen325 LOL! Monica, I kept my eyes on the road and just kept clicking, hoping for some good shots! Thank you!

@cindyrez Oiy! The wind blew them all out, Cindy and temps dropped pretty quickly! Thank you for your kind comments and the view!
February 12th, 2012  
@jbar LOL! I kept my eyes on the road and just kept clicking away! Thank you for your kind comments and the view!

@heidievans73 I promise, I kept my eyes on the road and just kept clicking and hoping for a good shot! Didn't look through the camera. Thank you for your concern and the kind comments, Heidi! =)

@maggiemae I was hoping I wasn't the only one that felt the motion in the pic! Happy to know you did, too, Maggiemae! Thank you for your lovely comments and the view!

February 12th, 2012  
@ronphotos365 LOL! I kept my eyes on the road and just clicked away! Thank you for your comments and the view! I guess passers by thought I was nuts! Ha ha!

@horselover Thank you, ma'am! Always appreciate your kind comments!

@jimwilson I'm glad you feel it, too, Jim! It's sort of strange to get that from a pic! Thank you for your comments and the view!
February 12th, 2012  
@kdei Thank you very much!

@peterdegraaff I-77 goes around Columbia, South Carolina up to Charlotte and beyond. I was headed over to I-26 to the west side of Columbia. Thank you for you comments and the view! Always appreciated, Peter!

@cindi LOL! That's too funny, Cindi! I must be, huh?! Thank you for your comments! =)
February 12th, 2012

@kerristephens No, Kerri! I kept my eyes on the road and not on the camera! Thank you for your sweet comments and concern!
February 12th, 2012  
@buggus Thank you, Oleta! I know! I'm glad I had my camera with me! But, I did keep my eyes on the road!

@purdey You are only the 3rd person to have sensed that about the pic, Sharon! I was really wondering if it was just me! Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments! Much appreciated!

February 12th, 2012

@debsulzberger Thank you, Deb! It was amazing how fast the wind blew them all out of the sky and changed their shapes! My little trip started out with a sky full of gray billowy clouds! This was shot on the way back!

@deburahiru Thank you, Deb! It was just about the only one that was straight and pretty centered. =)
February 12th, 2012  
What amazing clouds. They look alive to me! Like they were having a big cloud convention up there, gathering to exchange world weather news with each other! Great capture!
February 12th, 2012  
@myautofocuslife Aww! Thank you, Livia! They were in motion, constantly changing shape with the wind. I like how you think - "exchanging world weather news." LOL!
February 12th, 2012  
Wow! Amazing clouds Maggie! Great capture :D

@copperheadglass No worries, Meredith! I promise I kept my eyes on the road and not on the camera. Just kept pressing the shutter button and hoping for one good shot. Thank you! =)
February 13th, 2012  
Gosh! That is a sparkling clean windshield. Love the perspective. Feel like I'm traveling down the highway. I could use a good road trip. :)
February 13th, 2012  
wow! I just love how the roads lead the eyes right into that amazing sky - looks so awesome with the clouds!!
February 13th, 2012  
Those are serious clouds....looks like they are just hanging there.
February 13th, 2012  
lovely shot and some awesome looking clouds.
February 13th, 2012  
@rmkk Thank you, Marlene! Only 3 have felt the motion! Good eye!

@thebluegnu Thank you, ma'am! It didn't take long for the wind to push them out and the temps to start dropping.

@veekay Thank you very much! Appreciate your nice comments!
February 13th, 2012  
@laurentye Aww! Thank you so much, Lauren! Always appreciate your comments!

Beautiful day!!!

77 seems to go on forever!!!!! I drove down there last August for my brother's graduation from Basic training at Ft. Jackson. Beautiful area too!
February 13th, 2012  
@jenp Too bad, we didn't know of each other then! Could've met for a cup of coffee or an adult beverage some where! Thank you, Jennifer! Appreciate your comments!
February 13th, 2012  
@marlboromaam - next time I stroll through there, we will get coffee! I drove though really late and night and City Lights in Charlotte were so pretty that I took a picture while I was driving, but it didn't turn out well.
February 13th, 2012  
@jenp That will be cool! Would love to!
February 13th, 2012  
Wonderful SOOC!
Thanks for sharing!
February 13th, 2012

February 13th, 2012  
Beautiful blue sky and lovely clouds! Were they hanging low in the sky?
February 13th, 2012  
@cjphoto Low and high but, the wind pushed them out really fast before our temps started to drop into the 20s. Thanks for the comments, Chris! Most appreciated!
February 13th, 2012  
It's a lovely shot and it's even better that it hasn't been processed. Brill work! Hope you had a good weekend! :-)
