This nasty looking shelf cloud approached the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area back on July 1, 2011.  There was a lot of lightning but this is the only shot I got of it.  I was too scared to haul out the tripod.  As a severe weather spotter, I knew it wasn't very smart hanging out where I was...outside the car, in a high spot, due to the lightning.  The clouds were pretty scary looking but I didn't see any rotation or wall clouds.
I've learned so much about photography since then and hope I get the opportunity to shoot clouds like this again soon.  It was tricky holding the camera steady against the bridge with a 1.6 sec shutter.
