I took these pictures before and after a large supercell moved over
Plano. (And yes, I know, the first few pics aren't lightning--that comes
later, but there sure were some impressive clouds) The storm had rotation,
though a tornado was never spotted. After the storm went through, I got
some interesting pictures on the tail-end with the sun setting and nicely
lighting up the remnants of the storm. After sunset, I got a few pictures
of the lightning as the storm moved further east across the metroplex.

These were the first interesting cloud formations that prompted me to
get my camera out and loaded with film. |

|
| These next two pictures were taken just a couple seconds apart, but if
you look closely, you can see that some pieces of the cloud have moved
in that brief timespan. This low-hanging section was showing all
kinds of movement. After taking these two shots, I decided
retreating to my closet might not be a bad idea. |

Once the storm had passed, the weather cleared up, but even the clouds
on the back end were an impressive sight. |

| Sunset was timed pretty nicely. |

Once the storm had passed, it still had some decent lightning--unfortunately
the sun didn't set quite soon enough for me to catch much of it.

These pictures are looking east at the storm after sunset. Taken
with200 speed film with approximately 15-25 second exposure times. |
