Two pots of gold

by Scott on Aug.29, 2010, under Photography, Weather

If there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I know where there were two of them yesterday afternoon.  This image has everyone that an Arizona storm chaser could ask for except for a bolt of lightning.  This image was taken just a little north of Florence, AZ.

This is actually a 9 image HDR, I know that seems a little excessive but I wanted to make sure to not blow out any highlights.  It was tone mapped with Photomatix Pro and touched up in Photoshop CS5.  As always, please click on the image to see a larger version.

More lemonade

by Scott on Aug.28, 2010, under Photography, Weather

Things are shaping up to be a decent afternoon / evening for weather today and in the meantime I thought I would work on a bit of my backlog of images from the last month or so.  This image is a slightly different version of the black and white one I had posted earlier.  It is a 9 image HDR, the RAW images were taken handheld out near Parker, AZ.  I was actually trying to get some daytime lightning shots, and while I saw at least 50 bolts, I missed each and every one of them.  Tone mapping was done in Photomatix and final touchup was taken care of in CS5.  As always, click on the image to see a larger version.

All is not lost

by Scott on Aug.25, 2010, under Photography, Weather

It hasn’t been a great monsoon season for lightning photography this year.  We have had storms, but in many cases they happened earlier in the evening long before the sunset, or the cloud cover has been so dense that all you had was a huge, sky sized, soft box.  All is not lost though, there has been a few good shots along the way and hopefully there will be a few more.

Scott's little corner of the internet exists mostly for sharing my photography, but there will also be occasional rants, incoherent thoughts and the more often than not poor spelling!!!!
