Often the storm chasing day ends not with the last glow of the setting sun, but with a photogenic show of pyrotechnics dancing from cloud to cloud and into the ground and lasting well into the night. This strike was captured just a few miles from my home after a long day of driving and looking for marvelous supercells and their awe-inspiring structures. Typically, any isolated cells that form during the day in western Oklahoma will race through the portions of Oklahoma that I call home, I just have to drive back ahead of the racing squall line and on such days will end the hunt with a tripod and a camera on this gravel road. It isn’t a part of my public offered storm chasing tours, but instead just my time to relax, snap shutters and enjoy my favorite hobby – lightning photography. I’ve always hoped for a dead centered strike at the end of this long gravel driveway. So many times I have closed my eyes and envisioned this very shot. Then, one night in 2006 after a long day’s work of hunting down tornadoes I ended my chase day in this fashion, opened the shutter and waited – “bang” – I had it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be sure to check out my company, Violent Skies we offer Storm Chasing Tours!

A massive storm gets ready to unleash its awesome power over an outback road in Western Australia.

Tried something a little different for this one. I positioned the headlights from my truck to shine on the road hoping to get some extra light on the land. / This was a 45s exposure.

Late evening in the Southern Mallee. On a country road a rain cloud is unloading what it has collected during the warm day. Lightning flashes can been seem every now and then following the cloud and hitting the ground.

Shot a mile or so south of McPherson Kansas… I pulled off the highway and shot for 45 minutes… A reststop I need and an awesome light show.

This was a double cloud to ground strike that last between one and two seconds. I have post processed this by adjusting the EV to -2.0 in Nikon Capture. This strike was so intense that not only did it completely was out any details in the clouds…it also convinced me it was time to leave. This strike hit the same spot five times during this strike. / Photogrpahed south of McPherson Kansas

Cool picture. Literally … Winter 2007 / 2008: China had its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad has seen its first snow in all recorded history. North America had the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile — the list goes on and on. It’s cold outside, so lets light up the fireplace to stay warm and snuggly and watch some movies. Munich, Germany, late December 2007 / / Laminated Print /

I don’t chase storms. When they are known for their fury and anger, why tempt fate by incurring their wrath? No, I don’t chase storms, I chase their wake. An evening storm passed us not to long ago, she left us no worse for the wear, though a little damp and a little dark. Like a comet, she left behind a trail of clouds that followed her slowly through the evening sky, painting her story on a changing canvas.
