I usually try and pick one shot for skywatch but this week I thought I'd show the storm moving in over the Atlantic Ocean on the NC coast, Saturday night.
Shot One - Taken at 18:06:27
The first thing I noticed was how excited the birds were getting.
Shot Two - Taken at 18:07:08
Then the clouds started pushing all the blue out of the way.
Shot Three - Taken at 18:11:51
Next I spotted this pig, bear, or maybe a dog in the sky.
Shot Four - Taken at 18:14: 27
The black sky started pushing in from the sound side towards the ocean.
Shot Five - Taken at 18:27:45
It was beginning to rain so I got under the porch roof so my camera wouldn't get wet.
Shot Six - Taken at 18:33:23
The last shot was taken when the rain was so hard it was blowing towards the porch and I had to be quick because I was getting wet. I don't mind getting wet myself but I don't want my camera to get wet.
Shot Seven: Taken at 18:33:36

heheheh,
I wiped my computer screen, because there was a flake of dirt. When it refused to go, I realise it was you flying bird.
Great photos.
wow, that is amazing! what shapes those clouds have! great pictures!
It's amazing to watch those fronts move through over the beach isn't it? The definition seems to be so much sharper when there's nothing interrupting the airflow. I got a similar series at Topsail last year about this time. Great job here Carver!
Wonderful sequence, Carver. When I see photos like this, I wish I still lived near the ocean. Storms can be frightening but beautiful.
that first shot is incredible. it's my favorite. it got dark quick from the time the storm rolled in to the time of the rain. great shots. and, i don't blame you not wanting to get your camera wet. i don't like mine to get wet either. have a great day.
Awesome shots
Marvelous captures, - what a spectacular sky. Especially enjoyed the pictures of the agitated birds - they are great sign posters of what is to come.
Beautiful views of the sky. The shots with birds are fantastic.
Wow! What powerful cloud images. Super nice...great captures.
These are absolutely amazing, Carver! And what a storm! Your photos are breathtaking! Wow! Love the ones you got of the birds as well! Wonderful cloud shapes! Have a great weekend -- stay dry!!

I got goosebumps. The birds (and animals) always feel the storms coming. Great captures.
Thanks for sharing.
Very good! #4 has a donut cloud! LOL
Such wonderful captures of the dramatic skies.
Have a great weekend.
The two birds look like they are holding to each other. And your capture with the storm is fantastic. Even if I am only seeing it here it seem like scary ^_^
Happy weekend!

What a show of power in that sky. Wow! It is scary and exciting at the same time, especially over the ocean like that. Simply beautiful!
These are all just gorgeous. Amazing shots. That first photo is positively lyrical, though.
Oh my, the photos are full of action!
I love shot 4,5 &6 especially 6 with the dramatic contrast of the cloud which would pour anytime then.
I hope your vacation there was an enjoyable one!! :)
Happy Weekend Gal! :)
Amazing cloud patterns, very dramatic. Enjoyed the series.
Scary and gorgeous at the same time :D!

Wow,
amazing view to watch the weather rolling by like that.
