Clouds

[Back to Gallery]

On the 28th June 2007 Chris Newsome was intending to image the sun with a Coronado PST but there was too much cloud to do so. So he turned his Canon EOS300D onto the things that were getting in his way and imaged them instead...lots of times, very quickly. Each image was 1/2000th second at 100 ASA and 10 seconds apart. These were Compiled into a video (around 40 frames) that show the clouds developing and changing as they were blown across the sky...

Chris Newsome took this picture of a massive cloud bank taken after a violent downpour on 19th October 2006. The sun was getting low and illuminated the texture of the cloud well.
