Probably my last two photos I made with my X100.
This is the southwest edge of a severe thunderstorm that is rolling over us right now in Edgewood, New Mexico, about 30 miles east of Albuquerque.

Careful!! You're skating awfully close to producing excellent b&w with DIGITAL! Could be grounds for tossing you out of RFF!! 
I like the portraits a lot. Thanks for posting them.

Always looking
Some really beautiful shots in this thread. This camera seems to bring out the best somehow. It is my favourite after my Rolleiflex and I am shooting film less and less. Now that is saying something.
I have posted this before but it is still my fav. X100 shot so far.

The image of the horses in pasture is a classic! I suspect it would look great printed big. Thanks for posting it.

More severe weather
More severe weather
A couple hours ago we had a very fast moving cell produce a few funnel
clouds and a decent sized tornado, about 30 meters wide.
The storm swept from north-northwest towards south-southeast.
We get severe thunderstorms but usually earlier in the year. This week
we got two severe cyclonic storms within two days. A combination of the
heat, drought and moisture being pumped up north from storms in the
tropics, particularly the one in the east Pacific off of the Baja
peninsula.
Here's a few photos:
Funnel cloud about to touch the ground a few miles away.
Tornado rope on the ground but mostly obscured by rain sheet. This is
the northwestern, trailing edge of the storm which is an unusual place to find
rotation enough for a tornado, especially in hills like these.
Leading edge (eastern) of the storm showing the underside of the upper
level anvil and mammatus.
Well developed mammatus.
Back side of the wall cloud. Looking south.
Instability and rotation from directly below.
This storm is trying so hard here to produce another tornado. Here is
the partial rope of the last funnel cloud just over the end of our
block. Low level shear tore it apart.
These aren't too artistic. They are just cool as hell to me considering
my prior employment in the Navy as a meteorologist.
Thanks all!

Maggie, you really seem to have dialed in a beautifully-working technique/composition combination with those last portraits (sister, Pete). Really just hits the spot for me.
