stormtrooper poetry

My heart flutters as I look at the sky

The clouds are draped low, blue and black

I look at the radar and am plesantly surprised

that there is the potential for lightning filled skies

I grab my camera and run to my car

because according to the radar it isn't that far

The highway markings race by, as I try to make it in time

Finally I am there, not a moment to spare

Then it happens I hear the thunder roar

a fast moving storm is in store

quickly moving above, it heads right over

hanging high above. Then crackle, zap, pop,

lightning spreads like the roots of a tree,

lighting up the sky and trees magnificently

it sounds like the crack of a whip inches from your head

such a mystery of nature, some call it the source of life

I am there to see the show

and then to let everyone know

I capture each frame, I don't do it for the fame.

I love the beauty, and want everyone to see the same

storm drive by

a storm passed north and south of me, pefectly leaving me out of any chance of capturing a lightning shot...

i was able to capture some of the windy residuals.

person beside me said if i had the camera pointed anywhere towards the sky i should have

great wallpapers

obvious db "you should ask for your money back"

we drove an hour to bring you these images. 




christina and i were driving back when something poped up on radar.  we pulled over at the next exit to see and got a couple bolts.

time is almost running out for this years monstro!

wind storm in idaho

there was a windstorm in idaho.

my last post was an excited one as i thought i could capture lightning.

i saw 4 bolts and captured 0.  why?  because they were sparadic in nature.  left... right... left... left.....

so the only lesson i can gather is have 2 cameras running at the same time to cover your perefrial

will require a lot of batteries...

today's forecast a dream?

seems like a dream come true, i will be ready if anything goes down

storm is here!

this storm had legs.

saw it at 5:00pm and it made it all the way through southern idaho finishing at 11:00pm.

finally some local lighting!
