Tornadic supercell near Deer Trail, CO, with its first tornado on the ground beneath mothership structure.
This is basically one of the two "dream shots" I've been after while chasing relentlessly over the past four years (the other being a fairly close-up shot of a front-lit tornado, like this one from the late Eric Nguyen). I could hardly believe it was happening at the time.
It's funny how several of the images I've posted to Flickr that have received lots of views and comments are not ones I'd consider personal favorites. Sometimes what looks spectacular in the field turns out to make a rather ordinary photograph, and vice-versa. Regardless of the response this one gets, I consider it by far my favorite storm image of any I've ever captured. I've always been a cheapskate about printing photos, but this just might be the one that I finally frame and tack on my bedroom wall.
