SmugMug > popular > Weather > This shot was taken on October 13th,2007 in Kansas City,Kansas in the Lakeside race-track parking lot. The clouds were so wicked looking with this storm! I stayed and took as many shots as I could before the rains came. I wanted to capture the underside of the clouds as the lightning lit them up. I felt lucky with this shot as two shots later my back-up battery was dead after an all night chase! I have since bought a charger for my vehicle!
SmugMug > popular > Weather > UFO OR CLOUD? I will never forget this early morning storm. I left my house around 7:00 p.m. and took photos off and on for almost eight hours! I got a call from my wife while standing in a field shooting this storm. She asked if I had planned on coming home before work. When I asked her what time it was she said 3:30 a.m.! Time flies when you're having fun! I was two hours from home and had to be to work at 8:00!
SmugMug > popular > Weather > I am originally from the great SCENIC state of Utah. I have to admit I miss the mountains, Moab, Arches, Zion, Capital reef, Bryce, Lake Powell, Alta and well you get the point! Even with it being so flat out here there is so much beauty in the simple things. I have grown to appreciate the Kansas and Missouri states!

SmugMug > popular > Weather > "LIGHTNING MAN" was the name given to this photo by my wife.When I got home after 5 hours of chasing storms,she told me this looked like a stick figure looking down at the earth.
SmugMug > popular > Weather > June 5th, 2008 near Maryville, Missouri.Outflow boundary with a flash of lightning in the distance.Talk about windy! This same storm had a few tornado warnings on it earlier in the day. On my way back home there was a tornado warning in Savannah,Missouri and I just so happened to be driving through! I had to pull over under an overpass just in case! The lightning would light-up the sky and there were some VERY low clouds and lightning extremely close.A very eerie feeling.
SmugMug > popular > Weather > This shot was taken early a.m. on June 4th,2008 in Leawood,Kansas. It was pouring the whole time I shot this evening. I took the van and opened the sliding door and folded myself like a pretzel so I could shoot without holding the umbrella! Vans are great for photographing while it's raining!
