While taking a walk in our community, we noticed very low huge cloud formations. They were quite impressive, so I shot a series of images with my iPhone 11 Pro. Most were panoramas shot with multiple images to be assembled in Photoshop for the final image. I do not usually use the pano feature in the iPhone because it distorts the left & right ends of the image giving a “bowing distortion” in the middle. Most images were shot with the 6mm lens with digital zoom added in the iPhone. I never really used the digital zoom feature much before, but it actually worked out quite well, especially for clouds.
The featured image is a single shot with the 6mm lens with 318% Digital Zoom added on the phone. I was photographing from a distance because if I got closer the trees blocked more of the bottom of the clouds and I only could photograph the small top cloud section.

Thanks so much Hans! It was fun to see & photograph!
Wow, these are fabulous clouds, Reed. You’ve captured them excellently!
Thanks Eliza! It was fun to see! And fun to photograph! I am surprised how well the iPhone does. But I also open the iPhone files in Adobe Camera Raw to get as much detail I can out of the iPhone images.
Fabulous fluffiness, Reed!
Thanks Donna! Because of Covid we are taking a lot of walks in our neighborhood! So I do not lug a camera with me. Easier to just use an iPhone!
