Never p.o. Ma Nature
 

She has a way of gettin' nasty in a hurry. Grabbed some shots and headed in the opposite direction as fast as the rolling kennel could get me outta there.

WOW
 

Fantastic shot

Things were swirling around pretty good. It did not touch down. I'm no storm chaser, this just sort of snuck up on us (me and the dogs). We were back to the car okay and I thought I gotta get some pics. Could hardly open the car door but did get the pics and high tailed it.

Cheers,
Jack

Couple more

Fantastic photography Jack....Looks like the gates of hell are about to open.....:eek:

jack your living on the edge ...ha if it did not rain it sure missed a good chance...nice photos charlie

As always, incredible pictures Jack!

Oh yeah, there was rain and hail. You can see in the first pic on the right side the concentrated downpour. I'm on dirt trails in this area, so gotta get out or spend a long time waiting for a tow.

Jack, Those are fantastic pics; especially the first one with the wind laying down the grain and the clouds looking like the udders on an old sow . Our local weather reporters would love to publish it on their programs. Thought of copyrighting?

Actually, whoever snaps a pic holds the copyright. You can outright sell your copyright, or you can allow a company to manage your rights, or you can engage royalty free micro-stock companies to host your images and pay you a small fee for every time one of their subscription customers downloads one of your images.

I play with a microstock site and net .33 / image that somebody wants. The company gets a lot more of course. I ain't getting rich on that, but some folks earn a living that way. I pay for my ammo and a little gas money for pheasant hunting. I'm not serious about that because to be serious you have to actually work. Not working is what retirement is all about and every once in a while I send the company some pics and they tell me all the technical things that are wrong or they accept them.

This is my top seller - an old departed friend. Lots of different images of him do sell.

If anybody is interested in doing that with their own pics, send me a PM and I will be happy to guide you through it.

Cheers,
