Taking some liberties with the bandwidth, but… we haven’t seen the dramatic storms that have passed over the Pueblo and Colorado Springs area, so I thought I’d post a series from a cool storm that put on a show for us up on the Beartooth plateau. This was our first night of the Canada trip and although our first sunset spot didn’t pan out, once we got up to the pass where we were going to spend the night, things got interesting.
All of these were shot with an Olympus C-8080, handheld. Should’ve set up the D2X, but at first it didn’t look like much would happen, and then once things started happening, I didn’t want to run back to the truck, so I stuck with the C-8080.
Image 1: 8:02 pm - looking west over the plateau towards the Beartooth-Absaroka wilderness. Looks like a normal evening storm.
As i sit here drooling over the fact you got to go out and shoot, then create these fine photographs! WOW! I love them all!

Really nice shots, Rick! I like 5 and 6 the best - I am a sucker for verticals. The light is amazing.
The 8080 is well up to the task in this kind of situation!

Awesome shots Rick! I like #7 especially. Thanks for sharing such a unique series. The skies have been just incredible lately and it's nice to see them chronicled in this unique way.
Simply amazing. I'll throw in my vote for #5, I like #6 for the color in the cloud, but I think the clouds themselves are more interesting in 5. #7 ain't too shabby either!. Things sure can happen fast when Mother Naure decides to rock and roll!
Beautiful series, Rick! As I was scrolling down, the images were getting better and better! Wow! # 6 wins for me.Love the skies and colors and composition... just lovely!!
