Mammatus is one of my favorite cloud types. Captured these beauties on the back side of a supercell we had been chasing for hours in the Oklahoma Panhandle. What’s amazing to me is this was taken at almost 10pm during an extended blue hour. Lightning all around lit up the foreground. One of my favorites. Hope you enjoy
I have seen my fair share of storms over the years. This scene outside of Douglass, Kansas earlier this summer had to be one of the most amazing I have ever seen. Mothership supercell at sunset featuring crepuscular rays (sun rays) and lightning strike all in one wide 16mm frame. I exposed for the sunlight, hoping to get a lightning strike. It is almost out of frame, but Ill take it! Hope you enjoy!
What a sight!! I chased storms most of the day last week. Ended up outside Gering (near Scottsbluff), NE. All alone in a field that required my 4x4 to get to, I was treated to an AMAZING sunset. Over the years, I have come to accept that what I get when storm chasing might be not what I was looking for. Most of the time I get what I was not expecting! Most important, don’t give up too early!
