20080807 - Funnel

For the Achromatic August theme.

Almost forgot abouut this! We saw a teeeeny funnel-cloud at work today, by the time I'd got out onto the roof it was even more teeny and pathetic, as you can see here!

Processing: Standard colour out of the camera, then a spin in the channel mixer followed by a curve for higher contrast in the clouds.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/11.0 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great catch. We've had a few touch down here, also unusual. Of course I didn't get the shots ;o)

Weather's definitely turning freaky.

Like that rooftop view. Great contrast in the clouds! I'm kind of glad for you it did not form into a freak tornado. I know that would be uncommon.
