Stunning clouds shapes and colors are captured in this gallery. I have tweaked the contrast where necessary, but the colors are exactly as I saw them on the days they were taken.



***NOTE***
All photos purchased will be the highest resolution and highest quality (by necessity the previews you are viewing are only medium quality in order to decrease bandwidth). Your satisfaction with the final print is guaranteed. If you in anyway dissatisfied, simply email me at Jason@Stormdoctor.Com and I will purchase back the print from you (less developing and shipping costs). :) All purchased photos may be used for personal display but may by no means used commercially by any entity without explicit approval by me. Thank you for helping me fund the trips that allow me to bring these photos back to you!

stormdoctor > Roll and ShelfStunning blue turquoise and whites appeared as this high precipitation, previously-tornadic, cell near Vernon, Texas, in May, 2002. The upper cloud deck is a shelf cloud and the lower is called a roll cloud.
stormdoctor > This was an example of an outflow-dominant storm (far background and right) enhancing lift of an updraft (foreground, left). This eventually caused the updraft to intensify before the storm collapsed and became outflow dominant for good.
stormdoctor > You'll have to look at this photo carefully. At the bottom left and the bottom right are two features associated with this gust front called gustnadoes. They are often mistaken as tornadoes, and these were as well prompting tornado sirens to sound in Akron which is just to the left (outside the frame). They are in fact not at all tornadoes, and in fact form on the outflow of storms. Brief rotation under the rapidly expanding shelf cloud results in these "dust whirls". The real danger actually lies just behind the gustnadoes where straight line winds >70mph were clocked. I liked the dirt tracks leading off into the storm.
stormdoctor > I just liked the visual sensation of this photo with the shelf clouds taking on a very tangible feel.
stormdoctor > This storm, northeast of Lamar, CO, is in fact inflow-dominant at the time of this photo (though it looks like a shelf cloud, the storm was transitioning into a more inflow dominant phase for a short period). Note the wheat blowing toward the storm. Very beautiful.
stormdoctor > Note the "stack of plates" appearance to the storm at this point. These three semi-circular features appear to be three separate updrafts with midlevel rotation. This storm did not produce any tornadoes, but did produce hurricane-force winds and hail. I just loved this shot and being there was breathtaking.
stormdoctor > The diamond in the rough chase: This LP rotating storm against the New Mexico plateau. Deep turquoise radiates on the north (right) end of the storm. Note the midlevel beaver tail to the right and the vibrant striations at all levels.
stormdoctor > This non-severe storm formed over such spectacularly green fields with lush wildflowers in Southeast Colorado.

stormdoctor > LP supercell with funnel. Note the knuckles on the updraft, the clear updraft and downdraft. This storm would disappear within minutes.
stormdoctor > Spectacular non-chasing day sight. The cow in the photo spooked me from behind, but then blended nicely into the photo. This species of cactus is native to SE Colorado. Near Pueblo.
stormdoctor > I fell in love with the scalloped shades of orange and gray that predominate just south of Denver.
stormdoctor > Southeast Colorado on a non-chase day.
stormdoctor > Crepsuscular rays break through stratus clouds west of Denver. The mountains take on shades of depth. A truly stunning view to take in in person.
stormdoctor > 180 degree panorama shot of a flanking line over a quiet road near Burlington, CO.
