A Chaotic Sky At Sunset
We verified a Severe Thunderstorm Warning on Wednesday evening (55 mph). This is what the sky looked like about 20 minutes before those wind gusts arrived at our airfield.
I am a weather forecaster and ostensibly a photographer, so of course I love to capture storm pictures. Keep in mind though …
That wasn’t going to be a problem on Wednesday evening (or really for the rest of monsoon season going forward). I knew the storms were coming, and I was already going to be working at the airfield anyway. So of course I brought my camera and a couple of lenses. I even had a tripod in the SUV, but didn’t get that out and set it up this time.
Of the pictures I took, I liked exactly two. One of them will be shared in a few days for Monochrome Monday. But the one at the top of this post is an image that I knew was going to be my “keeper” even as was I was just browsing through them on the small back screen of my Canon 80D.
The only thing that could have made it better is if I’d somehow managed to capture a couple of lightning bolts underneath the approaching storm.
Hmmmm …
I guess I now have a photography goal this monsoon season. 😎
Every photo tells a story, and stories are better with company. If you enjoyed this post, please pass it along to a fellow explorer. Thank you!
It’s the photography admirers like myself who love the fact you have the access, knowledge and skills to bring us inside natural events like this.
