Huge downburst. One hit near my home. It steel structures. One steel billboard was bent double. Trees were snapped off near the ground.

3. been a long time since i shot infrared film but

i`m pretty sure it is. the small trees in the one photo really looks like infrared film but it`s probably a digital shot. i used to shoot a lot of infrared back in the day but i think they pulled the infrared film from the market.

5. You can get your digital camera changed to IR for under $200. I think Polarizers and Red filters

helped make for the dramatic tones.

8. What type of camera? I have film and digital.

I use some film camera lenses on my digital, and have adapters to use on my old Canon student camera.

I just mounted an old K Mart 28 mm on my film camera. After the storms pass, I will shoot some film.

12. old school minolta 101 and a "modern" canon

the minolta is a real challenge since they do`t make mercury batteries and the replacements are`t as good.

13. You can adapt the Minolta lenses to work on the Canon. They make

fine glass.

If the VA comes through with my hearing aids, I'd have a lifetime supply of Zinc Air batteries for an old Minolta.

9. I have some still in my fridge.

Waiting for just the right occasion.

4. I think the one in my OP used a Red filter on the lens or in post processing.

A polarizer will darken the skies too.
