Taken in the Central Drakensberg Mountain range during a very overcast day. Most amazing cloud formation with rainbow colours which only lasted a few minutes. The colours were only around this one cloud at this stage. I managed to get a couple of shots handheld - no time for a tripod.
Canon 40D
Focal length: 98mm ( 70 - 200mm f/4 )
f/13
exp. time: 1/1000sec. exp comp. 0.33step.

I like it a lot Jeni Remember at the distance you are shooting stopping down doesn't make much difference, you got lots of dof !!!

Love the formation very unique !!!

Very cool, Jeni! I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. Well caught considering you had to act or lose the image!

Harold, Al, Gus H and Gus C, Julie and Denise, thanks for commenting.
What I would like to know from the togs is what f stop it should have been? I wasn't sure if I should go beyond f/13.
Thanks!

What a great eye and quick capture. These are the fleeting moments we have to be prepared for. Love it!!

The colours and comp are beautiful on this Jeni.

Thank you all for viewing. What made it so special was that locals had also never seen the colours in\ around the clouds like this before.:) I managed to get 2 shots, this was the most definite cloud formation but will post the other one soon.
