Sky Monsters

Award-winning photographer Camille Seaman, best known for her earlier work depicting massive polar icebergs, recently turned her lens on another incredible natural phenomenon - storm clouds above the American Midwest. She partnered with experienced storm chasers and began to stalk a particular type of storm cloud - the supercell. On June 22, 2012, in western Nebraska, she encountered an enormous supercell and captured its many faces, like she did in 2008 in an earlier expedition.

Here are two examples of this supercell, check out the 20 other amazing photos here: In Focus Journal

That second one is kinda of creepy cool.

Totally awesome looking.

Too be that close to these storms she has got to be insane.

I've always been fascinated by thunderstorms, extreme weather, etc. But WOAH, some of those pictures are just downright scary! I definitely wouldn't want to find myself in the middle of some of them! But at the same time, those pictures are remarkable and pretty damn beautiful.

Nature never ceases to amaze me. Thanks OP.

You couldn't get a better photoshopper than mother nature. Those are breathtaking. I'd so love to see something like that and have a camera handy.

The second one looks like god was bent when he decided to create that one... -- lol god..
