Sweet! How did you manage to keep your camera so steady on your dash? Did you just have it sitting up there? I figure that was 1/4 to 1/2 second exposure? Pretty cool stuff.

Best storm pic of the 08 season

I guess that is probably my current fave from the first chase of the year, March 30 west Oklahoma. Longer exposure shows the cyclonic rotation in the air around the storm.

lol - I have no idea because that gravel road was anything but steady ... I took about ten versions of this before I got the keeper. It was 1/6 at f/4.0 with ISO 400.

Yeah, what an incredible sequence there; probably among the best set of tornado shots from one day I've ever seen. Major props to Doug on those. Wow.
As for me, I never would've thought going out in March of all months would yield my best structure shots of the year, but it appears it may turn out that way... just goes to show, don't automatically discount early-season setups if you're able to chase. This is from between Rocky and Gotebo on March 30:

James, I love your pictures. I was admiring some of your other work after seeing this one. Do you always shoot 8 shots for your HDR? What steps are you using between them and what program are you using to render them. I just started to dabble in HDR yesterday. I can currently shoot 3 or 5 with my K10.
Thanks. Jim
For me this year ( so far) I like these the best. I am almost embarrassed to post any of my stuff in the same thread as Hollingshead's, Langford's and a couple of other pro's photos but here goes. ( I can use the accurate excuse that I still need better (non kit ) glass
)

Like everyone else, I believe James and Steve Millers photos are the best, but here's one I took on 5-7 on the Falls Co. TX supercell that produced a tornado (that I missed) near Franklin,TX. Photo was taken looking SE:

Good day all ... Below is a panoramic of the Quintar, Kansas EF-4 tornado on May 23, 2008 at a 1/4 mile distance!
This wedge tornado was literally too big of a field of view to fit in a single frame!

This is one of my favorites from the season thus far, sorry it's a crummy video capture. This is from the Ft. Supply tornado.

Chris Collura wins...this is probably the sweetest structure I've seen in a photo.
Incredible pic, Chris!

awesome shot James my vote
What makes this photo is the lighting with the sun layers of the clouds. Really magnificent. What software did you use to stich the pictures with? What was the ASA/ISO ? (could not tell from your site area - which is very well done.)
How much are the photos? 5 by 7 and above

Thirded. Holy sh*t... that's insane.
What a year for Mr. Collura... also had my favorite video from the Kansas outbreak.
