Hey guys, these are some photos i took when i was overseas this summer. Sorry, i'm not a very good photographer Hope you enjoy:

These two were taken on the plane. As i looked out, i could see a horizon full of storms. The first photo is of a storm we flew around.



These are just other photos during my trip:


(sorry 'bout the blobs)




This one was taken back in Melbourne when a storm front came through.

[Greg Sorenson]

haha, funny moon shot:) i half expected it to spin like a basket ball.

Shot over Canberra, first direct hit since i've moved here.


After some high based thunderies fizzed out the week before, i got treated to lovely sunset instead. At this time i forgot to switch to Auto Wb and
it was sitting on a warming setting i'd used the last time i used my camera before xmas. The result being a super warm image which i don't mind actually.

Heavy Cell on the 9th of Feb, looking over towards Bendigo From Mt Tarrengower


Tornado or Landspout, whatever you want to call it Looking over the Huntly Hills from Mt Tarrengower on 9th Of Feb.


And last one, this is looking West over towards Eppalock from Mcivor Highway Journaton. Nice wall cloud formed out of the leading edge, and a decent inflow tail. And the area of interest is to the right of the picture. If you can make out the scud that seemed to me at the time be rotating, and a couple times reaching the ground. However im not fully confident that this was a funnel, moreso just some intersting Scud playing with me. Interested to hear others thoughts on it. The clouds above were corkscrewing, Cg's strobing an pulsin every 2sec, along with a heap of greenage. Taken on the 10th Feb around 5:15pm
