My goodness, nubbins is an actual word..Long ago somebody gave that as a nick name of a friend. Since then I thought it was slang..Got me there Keelin. Anyway, I’m drawn to the black “star” by the white linears.

Thanks hans and keelin! The green flash is believed to be the tale tell sign of Hail. I say flash but the faint emerald green lasted more than a flash. Looking at my photos timing it looks close to a minute that I photographed knowingly of the green. Green showed up in a few other shots in different areas of the storm as well. Below is a shot ( no green) of the clouds going Nimbus.
Yes Keelin I like the contrasts there in F&F..Very active for the mind…That is fun.
I see clouds as having infinite potential. I try to free up my vision to see potentials and if I do see interesting developing, to take the shot with a fair amount of trust that nature will be evident. So it is with positive and negative space balancing especially in B&W.By taking tons of pictures a photographer develops that eye for interesting along with a knowledge of balancing the positive and negative space . Directing the eye thru a photo is almost an automatic for me. I still like to experiment. The shot below , I play with the positive and negative a bit, interchange their roles for some fun. Again, clouds seem to afford for a lot of experiment and reversal of norms. From one moment to the next a cloud can be dark and then bright.
Hans..No, the pic I sent in has a green flash. The photo of pileus and velum I sent in recently. Anyway, below is a B&W cloudscape

Hans, yes like dandelion seeds in a gust of wind.
Heres a fun composition I captured one afternoon

Hans, That shot is of just a portion of an angry monsoon cell that pushed into the valley sending tornado warning alerts and flash flooding warning over the medias. I was outside taking pictures so I never heard the warnings. It became full Nimbus with green flashes. I sent in a pic . Never saw it make it to the gallery. Maybe its in the App, which It don’t have a smart phone for. Anyway the Nimbus eventually blew out, lots of wind and dust and some rain. Heres a shot of the anvil spreading overhead.
Hans, yes,,a before and after set of a wild session. The above shot is before that area of cloud kinda exploded which you see in the cloudscape shot. The below .. was but a herald for the above et al. Its a shot of asperiats with a thin duplicatus undulatus running underneath( i think) In any case it was some mixed up weather severely challenging me to record as much as I could.
