Paul Gowder tells Mashable how this ace shot came about.
"The photo was taken while my daughter and I were swimming in the neighborhood pool. I saw the clouds forming and kept thinking this would be a great photo. So I got out of the pool and got my iPhone to call my wife. I asked her to bring down my SLR. While I was waiting I was able to get this shot with the iPhone. By the time she arrived with my SLR it was gone," says Gowder.
"The best camera is always the one you have with you!"
