Thunderstorm Warning Tonight by taffy

Thunderstorm Warning Tonight

Fortunately for the city, it traveled north so missed us. More coming in so hoping the rest follow the same path. I couldn't catch any lightning, but did capture this one flash in the sky below and behind the clouds.
Wow...Super night shot...love all of the golden lights and ominous sky

Goodness, so ominous. Love the blues and the turgid clouds. All is OK here, just really busy with family and work. Hoping you guys are OK, too.

Very dramatic Taffy- excellent and a fav!

Love the ominous tones, I waited for the storm to pass before walking Finn...quiet for a few hours but now at 10:30 at night it is crazy storming out there. So looking forward to when you capture your first lightning strike, it might take some patience and persistence but I know you will get it!

Thats my kind of sky...
May 3rd, 2018  
This is wonderful!

Fabulous capture. Glad it missed you. We drove through a horrible storm last night on our way to Minneapolis. Probably the same storm system.

Wonderful picture, storms have their charm, in photographic terms...

Wow, look at those clouds!
May 3rd, 2018  
An awesome night shot and cityscape, fav!

I have never yet been successful with capturing lightning. There must be a trick to it but I don't know what yet! This is super moody and you can really feel the breeze coming and the rain about to pour.
May 3rd, 2018  
Drama galore - the size of the clouds make the buildings look like toys, not a mean feat!
May 3rd, 2018  
Great capture
May 3rd, 2018  
Wonderful
May 3rd, 2018  
Woooow. Fav.
May 3rd, 2018  
I love it! I love the twilight with the city lights coming on but the buildings still defined and that sky! Fab!!
May 3rd, 2018  
What a dramatic shot, fav
May 3rd, 2018  
Those clouds have such menace - lucky they skirted around your city.
May 3rd, 2018  
A lightning shot is still one that eludes me - never thought I'd look forward to a storm! This is still gorgeous - ominous clouds and a killer view!
May 3rd, 2018  
Absolutely stunning capture of your city and oh, that sky!
May 3rd, 2018  
Fabulously ominous :)
May 3rd, 2018  
Love that sky! It's good that the weather system was far enough away to photograph it and not be in it.
May 3rd, 2018  
What a threatening sky and life carries on below.
May 3rd, 2018  
Wow, such a dramatic scene. You must have a fabulous view of storms from up here. fav.
May 3rd, 2018  
@casablanca I've never managed to capture lightning either, but David did, he did cheat though. He took a video of a storm and took a screen grab from the video of lightning.
May 3rd, 2018  
Oh, that's an ominous sky! Nicely done Taffy!
May 3rd, 2018  
Wonderful night time city shot, Taffy.
May 3rd, 2018  
Wow what a view
May 3rd, 2018  
Now that is really dramatic - love it. Pity about the lightning. I love seeing it.
May 3rd, 2018

Stunning image Taffy! Can’t wait to see your first lightening strike captured! Fav!
May 3rd, 2018  
Oh my word, this is simply stunning. I'm very envious that you got to see this amazing view. An instant fav from me
May 3rd, 2018  
Stunning image
May 3rd, 2018  
Terrific :)
May 3rd, 2018  
@ukandie1 I never did get a lightening shot...oh well. I think to do it well, I'd need one of those sensors.
May 4th, 2018  
@taffy I think you might be right, I googled how to get lightening shots last night and came up with the same conclusion!
May 4th, 2018  
I agree, I checked out lighting shots and it seems like one either needs one of those sensors or set up the camera and leave it on bulb for a while. Fantastic shot as it is though, it really captures the forboding sky and atmosphere very well.
May 4th, 2018  
Wow, it does look quiet ominous.
May 4th, 2018  
Fantastic capture. The sky is awesome!
May 5th, 2018  
Wonderful capture, great light in the clouds and contrast between the cold colour of the sky and warm colours of the city
May 5th, 2018  
What a tremendous sky. Almost purple!
May 9th, 2018
