Best Anvil shots- post your best

[Eric Flescher]

Anvils are very majestic.
This one I took (from Olathe, kS) in August 2006, took on colors near sunset.

[Michael O'Keeffe]

Here is a shot of a supercell's anvil from June 6, 2006 in my frontyard.

This is a shot from Eastern NM June 1st of this year.

Not the best shot, but its a fun little vidcap with kind of a lot going on.

This was taken August 29 over central Texas:

The view from 32,000 feet gives you a little different angle on the anvil. I like the view of the overall storm structure, too.

[Jim Tang]

I love anvils, but they are rare here in southern Cali.

Fortunately, this year's monsoon wasn't a total loss. The following were taken on July 24.

Here's a great anvil in April this year (autumn down here) about 150km's east of Johannesburg.

Here's an interesting view of a rampaging updraft in the Drakensberg Mountains in December last year.

All of these were taken within 15 minutes of each other, Near Rochelle, IL, on May 24, 2006, I believe Mike Hollingshead has pictures of these two storms from the west side looking east, as I am on the east side looking west.

:D Best structure I've ever witnessed!

Seriously, there are some great shots in this thread. Too bad I don't see anything that interesting around here. Unfortunately we are extremely lucky to even see this sort of structure in these parts:

You could pound out horseshoes on that anvil...it was looking south at the massive

Anyone remember 2006? Ouch. Well, as a testament to 2006, I offer these, which include pics from deep south TX, Terre Haute IN, and Rapid City SD. I had chased in 7 different states through 2005. In my desperation to catch storms, I ended up adding 8 more states to that list in 2006 alone. The first pic here is a bit of a fav of mine, because it is my only photo of a storm in Mexico. It was shot from Marathon TX. I have neither the photography skills nor equipment of most you on this forum, so I have to substitute quantity for quality:

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff98/LibrariesDB/Storm%20Photos/060317d.jpg

Next one was probably 2006's biggest disappointment to me, as I was sure this baby was about to produce NW of Topeka on April 15:

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff98/LibrariesDB/Storm%20Photos/060415_2235.jpg

Next, storm outside Terre Haute IN May 25. I have no idea why my camera made it so blue, but attempts to remove the blue made it look even worse. Storm did not "produce":

Storm near Rapid City June 13. Orphaned. Surprise!

Funniest moment of 2006 was stopping at a gas station in BFE, ND on May 27. I grabbed a couple hot dogs for lunch and ate them inside the station. I finish them, then wander outside, thinking "Hmmm, wonder if the boundary just to the west is producing any cu yet." So I walk around to the back of the station to look, and there are about a gazillion chasers back there.

I couldn't resist adding some of my pics.

Here is a supercell with a "collapsing dome" that produced a F4 tornado about the time the pic was taken. April 1 1998 that killed two people in Coatesville. View is to the east. Unusual since this I took it in Virginia.

[Dustin Wilcox]

Typically dont get a chance to photograph the anvils as when I have a good view of them it typically means I am either late and in a hurry to get in position on the storm, or my chase is over and I am anxious to get home. I did happen to point the video camera at a couple on March 28th however, nothing special but the first one is the storm that went on to prodice the Bird City Tornado shortly after it went up, and the second is the storm that was just south of the Bird City Storm viewed from the Bird City Storm Base as it was tornadoing.

Amazing shots everyone!! Heres a couple of mine...

This was the very 1st weather pic I ever took. It was july 13th 1997 and I was just 14 years old, boy would I have loved to been under this baby. Theres actually a rainbow in the middle but its hard to see since it was taken with a disposable camera and scanned onto the PC

Great pics Mike! Did that storm do any damage?

In Audubon County there was reports of 4 tornadoes (Mabey the same one?) and many reports of hail 1.00"-1.75" in western IA for this day. Several tornadoes reported in eastern NE and 1 reported in KS aswell for this day. No wind reports from western IA. So I am thinking this was a suppercell mabey?

not to much for me to post here...most of my other anvil shots are either gone, or on another computer...

i believe this one was taken may, 27 2005...it was a slight risk day and there was a pair of tornado watches out...

this particular storm was SE of limon colorado...

June 6, '07: North end of HUGE Squall Line that extended diagonally across Central NE into south-central SD. The storm had one of the widest & longest anvils I had ever seen. First image was facing northeast on H183 in north-central NE.

Hey Thomas! Good to hear from you. Nice man, but you should have posted one with the nice roll cloud in it. By the way, who's piece of junk truck with that giant body bag on the back is that in front of you? ;-)

[Thomas Dolmer]

Hi Paul,

i believe the truck belongs to the famous warmsector.com team from Gaynesville, FL ... :-). Are your vehicle still alive ?
That was a nice little surprice storm we got there...

Give my regards to the rest of the team. I mailed Sarah & Marc a while back, but have not heard from them yet.

[Paul Austin]

Famous? In what country? How about IN-Famous for U-turns. And yes, the duct tape is still holding everything together :D, hail dents and all. Give my regards to all the Danes.

Here's a bonny one :)

Over here in Wales, when Northerlies blow in winter due to low pressure centered to the E of the UK, the cold air that comes along is unstable to the warm sea temperatures, often sufficiently so to trigger intense convection. This will form in a quasi-stationary line from the sea between N Ireland and SW Scotland southwards, so that it clips the end of the Lleyn Peninsula in NW Wales, is then out at sea until Pembrokeshire and sometimes is established across the outer Bristol Channel and SW England. This line permits the greatest "fetch" of cold air over warm sea. Precipitation consists entirely of snow and hail in the classic examples, with over a foot of snow possible in the convective line's narrow path as storm afer storm conveyors along it. In UK meteorological slang the convective line is referred to as the "Pembrokeshire Dangler", based on its shape on the radar when in full flow :)

This shot, taken at first light on a late November morning, shows the Dangler in full blast! This line was electrically active when I went to view it: later that day a lad was struck by lightning while sledging on the deeply snow-covered Prescelli Hills in Pembrokeshire. He was in hospital for some considerable time.

I want to show you some of my better cloud pictures. My passion for severe weather photography started in the summer of my senior year. I started out using a disposible camera, so the pictures arent the greatest. With an exception of a couple pictures i took on June 12, 2004.

Nice Maggie. Those were taken the same day as the "famous" extreme mammatus photos. http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/june2004hastings-mammatus.html

Pisses me off I was chasing the storms that day in southern NE and never got behind them to see those.

May 26, 1997 - just east of Norman OK

This is the anvil of a baby storm that means business. It went on to put down multiple tornadoes.

Enjoyed seeing John Mason's shot of UK storms... the radar and the visual image from someplace outside North America was quite a treat.

how do i go about copyrighting my photos? Do i just put "c mKahman 2007" Just wanted to know for future reference:)You should start a separate thread for this so as not to derail this one, but you automatically have a copyright just by creating the picture. Just mark it with a copyright and claim it that way. If you wish to register it and make it official and get certain legal protections then, google for "copyright office" and you can find more info on how to file a copyright claim.

Everyone else: replies should be started in a separate thread.
