July 9, 2014 - North of Minden Nebraska US
What a Day to remember...
I was just out of surgery for my left knee, I wasn't supposed to be out at all. Knee was swollen to the size of a soft ball or bigger. Wrapped & in a cast but I wasn't about to let one of the best photographic storms of the season pass me by. Mrs & Friends helped me into my truck. Gear in hand I was off!
Before I was able to get on this storm. Historically, this storm wrecked havoc on 16 counties with softball and baseball sized hail. I caught up with it just to the south of Minden Nebraska as I was traveling south. I would never get in front of it but only on the back side as it proceeded to the southeast into North Central Kansas.
From my point of view, it was one of the best photographic storm of the year in South Central Nebraska. Some incredible captures from the back side of this incredibly photogenic thunderstorm. Light & Shadow played well as the Sun peaked out at the end of this day!

April 23, 2014 - South of Minden Nebraska US
Back home then off to the south. New storm development to the south of us mean another stormscape photo opportunity.
Once there we had to wait about 1/2 hour due to this storms slow speed. This storm went severe and dumped a ton a hail on Minden Nebraska. There were even reports of localized flooding.
We ended up a few miles south of Minden Nebraska so we could capture this high based storm in all her beauty!

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

Taken near Devils Den in the Marlborough Downs. Here I was trying to capture the gentle curves of the Wiltshire landscape and bleakness of winter with no crops of foliage on the trees. Three bracketed shots blended in PS.
This evening at Pt. Mugu Beach. The skies looked more promising as I was leaving work this afternoon, but dark clouds decided to roll in right when I got there. Regardless, I decided to just stick around and see what it would look like once the sun descended below the cloud cover.
I had a few shots with better compositions, but sea spray on the filters reflecting sunlight ruined them. Had to keep wiping the filters with my shirt, but I was only able to get a few shots that didn't have tiny reflections :(
Focal length: 16mm
Aperture: f/16
Exposure: 2 seconds
ISO: 400
Filters: 3-stop GND soft, 3-stop reverse GND
Note to self: verify lens cloth is in camera bag before leaving home

A nice setup for severe weather on the plains that afternoon. Moderate Risk day in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado, Western Kansas....
It took about 4 hours to get to the starting point, but all is worth the time I take to plan and get out to get some good severe weather action.
I had a choice that afternoon to follow this first cell or to wait for the next one... Without all the technical terms and jargon....I had the perfect setup for possible tornadoes that afternoon, but this storm that I choose (the 2nd cell and not this one) wasn't going to produce any till way after I quit chasing it down on the Kansas Oklahoma border. Its the chance that I take when it approaches. You NEVER know what its going to do.
I've been rather lucky chasing in this area over the past 20+ Years... Caught my fair share of Naders. This day didn't produce what I was looking for But Mother nature was talking I was Listening.
This sky was EPIC....

In position to watch the storm develop to the west and southwest. I had got to one of my open spaces that had quick access to the north if I had to leave fast.
This storm cell developed into a monster with quarter sized hail and 60+mph wind speeds. This was a terrific photographic beast. A dangerous but a fruitful basket of storm chasing eye candy!

Late May ... 2024
A dramatic sky dominates the horizon, with dark, swirling clouds on one side and a vibrant, fiery orange glow on the other. The contrast between the dark stormy section and the bright sunset creates a captivating display over an open landscape with fields.

Herøya Industrial Park is one of the biggest industrial parks in Norway and is situated in the municipality of Porsgrunn in Telemark, 150 km south of Oslo. With its strategic location on the coast in the far south of Norway, Herøya Industrial Park is the best choice for export companies and anyone else who needs fast, efficient links with Europe and the rest of the world.
Heading home from Shoreham yesterday afternoon I noticed some cracking dark clouds on the horizon so I had to stop and take a pic. As can be seen the fields are very parched after a long period of very hot dry weather. Apparently that's about to change tonight with thunderstorms and heavy rain forecast. They have been wrong before!
This was taken from the lay-by near the river Adur on the A283 just south of Bramber and Upper Beeding.
My city just received over 200mm of rainfall in past 11 hours, over 300mm in the past 24 hours and approximately 800mm in the past four days. Just for context, Mumbai's average August rainfall stands at 566mm.
Its pouring cats and dogs, bulls and buffaloes here... with no signs of abatement. Its absolute mayhem on the streets for the past two days, more can be read here
I ventured out couple of days back (and this shot is from a moving cab), only to return all drenched. As on today, the skyscapers have punctured through the clouds. All of them !

The sun stubbornly refused to shine apart from around 3 minutes when I managed to grab a few shots!! Lots of very busy workmen today the restoration of a stream being hampered by lots of debris and fallen trees after Storm Doris had a hissy fit yesterday!!!

I Seriously, wasn't going to go out this night... Had a weeks worth of hell, and I really just wanted to do was get off work and go home. I was tired, I was cranky, it was the first weekend I've had off in a Month...
As soon as I pulled into the driveway @home, I could hear the weather radio going off and my storm capturing sensation came over me. Listening to the bullitins coming over the radio and I Freaked!. The storms were closer than I had thought. NWS just put warnings for Northern Buffalo County for super fast development of strong to potentially super severe, with large hail, and possible Tornadoes.
Photography Chance of a lifetime... Even though someone could cast me as a member of the Walking Dead....I was a trooper and I didn't wimp out! Luckily I had the my camera on the charger... Grabbed all my equipment & I hauled A** North... 20 mins later I found myself in the perfect spot, under the perfect conditions!
Cresting over northern Buffalo County, ready to cross between Pleasanton & Ravenna Nebraska, this cell was rapidly building and already had tornado warning on it. Incredible CG lightning in front of the storm cell was just to good to capture, with lighting firing off every few seconds.

Before I want to Turkey on the Sunday and on way back from dropping my Son of home i came across a random sunflower field. A bit late in the session but still an ace find i do believe.
Cheating on my 365 today. I've been working on this shot for a couple weeks now and finished today. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Early June... 2024
A dramatic shelf cloud approaches. Defined layered storm clouds loom over a flat landscape with a faint line of train cars in the distance. The intense hues of the turbulent sky contrast with the green fields below.

Looking out over the fresh water sea to the simplicity of its surroundings and imagining peace. Not the world I hoped for.
