This is a low precipitation super cellular thunderstorm that I captured on May 1st of 2008. I shot this just north east of Oklahoma City. At this time, the storm was dropping very large hail underneath it. It was wrapped up very tightly, but did not go on to produce a tornado. The storm dissipated shortly after sunset.
Technical Details:
Shot with Canon 30D and Canon 20mm lens.
6 frame pano stitched using Panorama Factory.
Each pano frame bracketted -1/0/+1 to gain greater highlight and shadow details.
3 seperate panos combined in Photomatix to create an HDR image, and then a resulting tone mapped jpg image created from that.

Thanks again for all of your comments. The image is real, and I have added technical details above. My workflow tends to create punchier, and more contrasty images, but that is the way I like them. :) If you have any questions, please let me know.
