Front Range Leviathan

Front Range Leviathan

A huge severe-warned cell shows off some explosive convection as it drifts along the Front Range west of Loveland, CO.

Image Notes: To get an idea of how large the storm is, consider that this image is a five-frame pano. Each frame was shot vertically with the Samyang 14 mm, itself an incredibly wide lens. I processed each frame in DXO, corrected distortion/vignetting with PTLens (DXO lacks a profile for the Samy) and merged the frames in Photoshop to construct the pano.

  • This was the starting salvo for a quickly evolving blue hour thunderstorm at Horsetooth Reservoir, CO just after the sun set.  The image is one minute of exposure time from two merged exposures and highlights some of the interesting cloud structure that was happening as the storm evolved quickly.
