Is that what they're called? I've never seen anything like them in my life.
Not really my style of photography, but wanted to try something a bit different.

They usually indicate tornadic activity, so you probably won't witness them in England.

Yeah I've seen those clouds a several times. I live in an area with some of the most fucked up weather. 60 degree swings, tornados, softball size hail, amazing lightning storms, blizzards (with lightning), heat waves, drought, and floods. Nothing is off limits...

Couple of hours of actual work, a lot of time seems to be spent staring at the screen wondering what'll go where.
This one took about 45 minutes.

So are you combining several shots into one? Or how are you ending up with this final product?

Yeah, every element in the picture is from a separate photograph I have taken at some point.

OH YEAH... had an epiphany earlier when I figured out what the little screw was for on the telescope adapter: to put eyepieces in there and hold them in place! The 9mm eyepiece fits, which gives massive magnification but also cuts a ton of light out, and I hacked up the 2x piece to make it fit in there too (but not at the same time). So tonight, I'll do a super zoomed in shot too.
here's an example
35mm lens
Telescope attached
Telescope with the 9mm eyepiece
No that's not a crop... craziness :P

There was a lot of fast moving clouds tonight after the rain, this one has some clouds in front, I thought it made it look cool
I got some with the 2x and the other magnification lens but they aren't very clear and not really worth the trouble.
