near Camp Grove, IL
About a week ago I shot some picturesque convection in rural-Stark County, IL looking southeast toward Camp Grove, IL. All of these photos were shot with my Canon telephoto-zoom lens (70-300mm) and my newly acquired Canon 7D. The late-July heat and humidity sparked off some summer convection near sunset on this evening as convective temperatures were reached in the local-area. The isolated nature of this convection provided some excellent photography near sunset. I've added some photos of the bubbling convection near sunset below:

Prime example of isolated convection!

That wraps up this post. I actually storm chased last week in far eastern Iowa and northern Illinois. Stay tuned for a future post in regards to that chase day...
