Default Crazy Clouds

Today at work (in northern Virginia) we had some crazy weather brewing. The bottom fell out about 5 minutes after I tucked my camera away (PHEW!). I got these awesome shots. Naturally, they're beefed up a bit in photoshop, but mostly only with a levels layer to bring out the brooding nature of it all. One is in a black/grey hue and the other is in a bluish hue.

Awesome clouds! So dramatic.

Thanks guys!

Yeah the clouds did look really rough, but improving the levels and bringing out the difference between the clouds really made them look scary as heck!
