This large thunderhead began to develop today over Mt San Jacinto while I was at my construction project. Today was about 109° and humid too.

That's pretty cool. It'd be even better if the cloud was a bit closer to you, filling a bit more of the frame.

Thanks. It's hard to see the perspective but the clouds are not only rising but heading toward me when I took the photo. The top of the clouds are closer and gives the impression of height.

I used my 17-55 @ 17mm on the 7D.

Oh, San Jacinto! I didn't notice that the first time I saw your image (which is great, btw).

We used to own a cabin in Idyllwild, and we sold it for no real reason other than it hardly ever got used. After my dad sold it (about ten years ago) we've regretted it ever since.

Idyllwild is such a nice town. I heard (though I don't know how valid this is) that the reason the town has been able to stay funky and small is that the sewer system would need a major upgrade in order for big box stores and such to be built, and as long as the city council can keep the sewer system antiquated, they are safe from big developers.

I don't know how true that is, but it sure sounds good.

San Jacinto is famous for its hiking, rather than skiing. It's a wonderful place.


Thank you. bw!

Here's one more shot taken today. I happened to catch the jet as it was departing the Palm Springs airport. One thing I really like about creating my hdr files using CS5 is the ghost removal. I chose which of the three exposures to use for the moving aircraft.

Into the wild blue yonder.

Thanks for the comments. I used CS5 to tonemap for the second image and photomatix for the first.

100% crop

Great shots. That plane looks SOOO small compared to the clouds, as do the mountains!
