"The Core" Western Oklahoma Chasing storms is tricky work. You have to manuever into just the correct position in order to see any of the amazing structure they can present. In this case, we had very little contrast or visibility on the core of this storm until we were right up underneath it. Once we were, this is the site that greeeted us. Technical Details: Shot with a Canon 5d Mk2 and a Canon 20mm prime lens at F16. Bracketted images stitched and merged to create a wider dynamic range.
"Turbulent Skies" Western Oklahoma One of my favorite hobbies after photography is storm chasing. Experiencing the power and beauty of thunderstorms is something that is really hard to translate into images. This particular storm was one of the most beautiful I had ever seen. It moved very slowly the whole time we photographed it, and the strucutre and colors were incredible. Technical Details: Shot with Canon 30D and Canon 10-22mm lens at F10 and 1/8. Panorama created from 24 vertical bracketted shots.
"Anti-Cyclonic" Western Oklahoma One of my favorite hobbies after photography is storm chasing. Experiencing the power and beauty of thunderstorms is something that is really hard to translate into images. My chase partner and I came upon this anti-cyclonic supercell in Western Oklahoma one evening. Anti-cyclonic cells rotate clockwise, which is backwards from the typical counter-clockwise rotation of a normal supercell. Adding to the beauty of this storm is the scenery of the Glass Mountains. Technical Details: Shot with Canon 30D and Canon 10-22mm lens at F10 and 1/8. Panorama created from 24 vertical bracketted shots.
