Good morning all. Thanks for looking and the comments & critiques from Rick, Paul, Ann, Frank, Ken & Daniel.
On this day, the early supercells were degenerating into what they call an MCS (mesoscale convective system) or as chasers call it "a big mess". I was basically giving up on getting any decent pics this day and heading for home. However, even then, it pays to keep your head on a swivel. This shelf cloud/gust front was expanding rapidly toward me behind me and to my left. There was no time to find interesting foreground, which is normally my desire, so all we got was a very nondescript part of Nebraska's landscape and a road that appears to disappear into nothingness under the clouds. The ultrawide is the only lens that can effectively capture this sort of scene. The shape and appearance of the gust front can change minute by minute, and even second by second, so it is a bit of luck to be in the right place at the right time as it overtakes you.
