"My" helicopter (I don't own it by any means

)...

Josh, that first one is heading right to PPG right! While done. Love shooting just after a storm. JIM

Thanks Jim - I'd have to say that storms are my favorite time to shoot (aside from keeping raindrops off my lens (filter)).

That picture of the plain is gorgeous, I love the reflections.

Love the pano - rarely do you get to see both end of a rainbow like that!

Very nice Josh especially the pano... Lots of "weather" shots showing up lately.

Thanks Ash - I've found it takes either a pano or a an ultra wide lens to get both ends of a rainbow in the frame (on the rare occasion you get to see a whole rainbow

).

Thanks Mike, it's been a weird year for weather here for sure.

Thank you Andrew - some details on the Pano... it was shot hand held, and stitched with Hugin.
