Space Monster

A storm cell in the Upper Hunter Valley, eastern Australia. I had my 5D3 and lenses in the car but the cell was moving so quickly that I just grabbed this shot with my phone camera. Apple iPhone 6, f/2.2 @ 4.15 mm, 1/120, ISO 160

Wow, reminds me of the storm cells in Kansas when I lived there. It is pretty in pictures but actually being there is always a bit unnerving.

Intense!
Did you use the pano feature on the iPhone? It seems a bit soft, perhaps just due to hand movement?

[Colin Driscoll]

Yes Morkel, I did use the pano feature. The softness is due to wind moving the grass and the fact that the whole system was on the move. Nevertheless I though it dramatic enough to post :)

Thanks - sure is worth posting!
I love shooting with my iPhone6 too...

Hi Colin, wow, this is very cool and quite ominous too...my only suggestion if you aren't opposed to such post production would be to use a quick mask selection of the clouds on the right, flip the selection horizontally, and place it over the bright, blown out section on the left.
