I've posted in the new user sticky, but wanted to do a more personal thread for myself. I figure it'd also be pretty cool to look back on in a few years to see how far I've come
As most of you can guess, I'm a new member finally after waiting a while...long enough to forget i signed up, but still glad to be here. I feel like I'm part of a group of pros and I feel a bit out of place and already learning a ton of info. There's a few names I recognize that I've seen around instagram and YouTube quite a bit, and I probably follow a few users here.
I won't bore you with my whole life story, I have that in my profile for the new user essay if you really want to read it. It's interesting to me to see where I'm coming from but who really cares what most people have gone through
So, that's out of the way my name is Kevin, I'm from Bristol, CT originally, joined the Air Force straight out of high school because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Blah blah blah, few years pass and I realize how I've always been a weather nut since I was about six or seven years old after watching Twister. Now, I'm trying to play catch-up and get into college, take the SAT and pursue a career in meteorology regardless of how long it takes
This will be my first time actually out chasing and recording storms, but I live in Tucson, AZ for the time being with my fiance so I''ll be chasing the AZ monsoon.
I have a 2009 WRX I also commute in and enjoy modding as well, that will also be my chase vehicle. Its in the shop right now for body work as the neighbor's sister from across the street backed into the driver front fender leaving a few weeks ago
I'm also hoping no one minds too much if I pick your brains a bit for info. I have a very basic understanding of weather, a lot of what I learned is from meted.
I'm also in the market for a good camera set up that's also budget friendly, so if anyone has recommendations that would be helpful. Also maybe some tips on ISO settings for what kind of light, close-up photos and long range structural shot tips, etc.
Another quick question is for those who sell their videos/photos. How do you go about doing that exactly? I'm not looking to profit off chasing whatsoever but making a few bucks back from the gas expenses would probably help keep the girlfriend off my back...even though she likes watching storms ALMOST as much as me
