I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.
Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.
I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.
I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.

Joe the intrepid explorer caught sight of something he couldn't pass up. Camera and tripod at the ready he knew his new lens would be perfect for the shot.

Since moving to Arizona in early June, I am experiencing a very hot summer and my first monsoon season. With that brings a lot of desert lightning. I was exhausted and in bed half-asleep, but decided I would try my first attempt at capturing lightning. I think I got lucky...

Shot was taken in Robberg Nature Reserve near Plettenberg Bay in South Africa. When we headed towards Plettenberg Bay the weather forecast said there will be heavy thunder storms - however we were lucky - no rain so we could do the walk. Luckily we had some major clouds and this wonderful fog heading up the cliffs from the sea - made the pictures more interesting than blue skies :-). It was one of the most wonderful walks of this journey.

This is Black Tor from our fantastic day hiking on Dartmoor last Saturday. The approach was rocky and would have been perfect for a Lord of the Ring's scene! The first part of our hike was pretty windy and drizzly but upon reaching the tor the weather started to change. I got some pretty nice conditions for a photo with sunlit rocks and dark clouds in the back. There's some terrific views from up there - both, into the distant countryside as well as towards Black-a-Tor Copse (see previous upload). As we just visited another tor called Black Tor the week before I wonder how many granite stacks carry the same name...
Yesterday we visited the fabulous double stone circle of Grey Wethers. This Bronze Age site features 2 large stone circles close to each other, the centre of both circles is almost perfectly North-South oriented. When the circles were excavated they found large amounts of charcoal in the centre. The reason for erecting 2 stone circles next to each other remains a mystery only Bronze Age folk would be able to answer.
I took this one on our way from Pew Tor towards Windy Post Cross (see previous upload). We had a really lovely and sunny picnic up at Pew Tor but the weather was quite volatile last Saturday and the dark clouds moved in quickly. We followed the Grimstone and Scortridge Leat, a little stream crossing the open moorland in between the tors. There were Dartmoor ponies and sheep scattered around in the landscape. While we approached this lovely couple I noticed a patch of bright sunshine moving towards us so I quickly got the camera ready and waited for the ponies to be in the sunshine for my photo.
Something I've noticed about piers. No matter the weather or the time of day, there is always somebody fishing on them.

The nature around Aachen is really worth seeing. There are hills and the forest area is extensive. Add to that the beautiful meadows and a walk there will certainly do you good. This photo I took at a green open field where I walked barefoot in the grass with my shoes in the hand. For me that is freedom and I felt one with the earth.

De natuur rondom Aken is echt de moeite waard. Er zijn heuvels te vinden en het bosgebied is uitgestrekt. Voeg daarbij de prachtige weilanden en een wandeling daar zal je zeker goed doen. Tijdens de wandeling liep ik een groot deel op blote voeten met mijn schoenen in mijn hand in het heerlijke licht vochtige groene gras en op zulke momenten kom je dan echt tot rust.

Southwest of of Overton Nebraska...
This set of images is what I live for... Those epic moments when you finally hunted/found what your looking for. It does take a lot of patience to storm chase. The waiting, the planning, the doing. But the rewards at the end are priceless. My antlers on the wall.
Now for some storm chasers... the Holy Grail of Storm chasing is a Tornado. But not for me. It is events like this that give the full definition of Storm Chasing. It really what storm chasing Eye Candy is all about! It is the "Why" or the understanding of why I do this!
One the edge of this Nebraska Supercell I felt the AWE of Mother Nature!
Surreal!
Epic
Awesome!

Mixed Light Series
The time of day that draws me in where electric light and natural evening light meet creating a few moments of a special blend that alters both.
I processed the image with a painterly abstraction expressing my impression of the moment.

This slow moving storm cell was perfect. This strong, violent, night beast was producing dangerous cloud to ground lightning.
We had met up with some other local chases and now were sitting just to the east of Red Cloud Nebraska.
Right under the base of this storm, I was finally in position to capture some incredible lightning. Some of my best night captures of 2016
