Image Caption: 
This is on off the highway on my way home from work in Boulder, Colorado. I saw this massive looming supercell thunderstorm while I was driving, in fact, everyone saw it because it was so spectacular. People were craning their necks up to see it while they were driving. I pulled over and grabbed my camera out. the sun was setting behind me so that is where the color and the shadows in the clouds comes from.
Lens: 
sigma 10-20mm
Technique: 
5 shots, bracketed at 2 stops a piece. I didn't have a tripod, so all the shots were handheld, but the pentax has a nice internal image stabilization feature, and the software helps align the images too.
