This was one of those days... I had the day off work, some gear to play with, time to kill, and there was a 1% chance of storms!! North of the city it was snow and in the Southwest a warm front was pushing in from Michigan. So I decided to head towards Sarnia.

While waiting for a possible thunderstorm, I decided to throw some grads on the 16-35 and snap some cloud photos.

I haven't put a grad filter set on the camer on a while and forgot just how awesome the effect is! You can fake it with photoshop or lightroom but nothing beats the real deal.

My only hope was for an elevated storm or two, strong easterly winds off of Lake Erie were pushing the warm front back and a stationary front became established in Michigan. There was an 8 degree difference and huge humidity difference too.

The HRRR & WRF-NAM consistently kept popping a little storm just south of Sarnia so I headed to the river and snapped some photos while I waited. This is the new 11-24mm lens that I think will serve me well in Tornado Alley.

Looking south with the super wide angle lens!

Looking up with the lens at 11mm makes this willow looks stretched!

I'm bored...

Boooooooorrrrrrred
