I had forgotten about what I witnessed on May 23, 2010. This was a great chase with for me and my chase partners, Brady Kendrick and Jake Hudson. Pictured here, is a supercell actually eating another dying cell to its south. This storm later produced 5 more tornadoes, all witnessed by us near Texline, TX. You can actually see a cone funnel coming down from the base.
Some awesome photos on here! This is my new favorite, shot less than a week ago on the border of OK and the TX panhandle:
Wasn't chasing storms this day at all, just returning from a vacation in Colorado. Punched through this incredible shelf, and saw this view to the North on the other side. Convinced my wife that I needed to stop and shoot it, and luckily came across this old deserted highway. This is over 180 degrees of view, shot at 12mm to give you an idea of the scale. It was right on top of me!
Technical Details: Canon 30D with 10-22 lens at 12mm. 30 shots at F16 and 1/10 bracketted at +/- 1 1/3 stops. Stitched using PTGUI, blended in Photomatix, finished in CS4.
Pretty low-resolution on facebook, but a couple from this year......wish I had just a few seconds more, but I love the pressure and "zone" I can finally get in, in tense situations!
