Best of your photographs for the chasing season so far

[calvinkaskey]

With the winding down of tornado season and near a midpoint in the northern part of the country let's look at the season so far. 1st Photo of rotating thunderstorm with landspout potential. Severe supercell with everything except tornado (ie rfd, rotating wall cloud, beaver tail, lightning), third is similar and same cell. 4th is a strong to severe thunderstorm blowing up near Frederick, Maryland, 5th is a supercell with hail up to golfball size and 60 mph winds with shelf and roll clouds in Binghamton, N.Y. Last was taken near Rochester, N.Y. as storms are over Lake Ontario after producing severe weather near Toronto and tornadoes earlier. Tornado count=0, Funnel count=0, hail up to about 3/4"-1", max winds observed 45-50.

I also have my phone, and a dying cannon dslr that I also have very limited experience with so at least I have time to practice lol

Had some great shots this year. Still came up short on tornadoes and missed some of the big days, but I'm quite happy with what I came back with.

This was in Paoli, PA on 6/29/15. This never became a tornado ever since I started tracking it from West Chester, PA. It looks like a scud, but it was rotating quickly. It wanted to drop one, but never did.


This photo I took up by Hazelton, PA on 6/12. It is my best lightning photo to this day.

My chasing was limited this year due to travel (we were out of the country for a good chunk of April and May, then traveled to California for a wedding Memorial Day weekend), so I missed most of the best chase setups. Still, I managed to get some decent pictures, including some lightning this past week with the early signs of the southwestern Monsoon.


Funnel cloud near Cortez, CO, May 19. (Actually got this one on the way to California)


Supercell and microburst SW of Roy, NM, June 8.


Another supercell with rainbow the same day, SE of Las Vegas, NM


Storm over the San Juans north of Pagosa Springs, CO, July 1.

Didn't make the plains this year.

The SW monsoon is off to a good start here in S. Az.
I haven't encountered a good close-in twilight storm yet, but did manage some decent lightning pics the other day:

That's a little better than descent. Farley's lightning pic is very good too.

First time with a dslr
First lightning bolt I've ever taken
No tripod

I have to say not too bad for starting

No chase this year as I've been tied down again (story of my life last few years with the exception of El Reno). Does this count? Taken during vacation last month. =D
