It is COLD out there!

We do get lucky

This is one of the better ones from tonight's chase.

Photography

Work has really killed my chasing this year … VERY busy year. I did have a chance to take some photos on my recent trip to New Mexico … here’s one. I hope work slows down a bit soon so I can chase some winter storms this year. I’m saving my vacation for next year to chase busy or not.

Gear for 2010

A few people were asking about my gear for this year. I upgraded my lens big time thanks to a thumbs up from tony. I'm also shooting my video is TRUE 1080 HD with my Sony which is exciting. Here's a few photos:

Camera - Nikon D40 with Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens
Main Camcorder - Sony Handycam HDR-XR500 120GB 1080 FULL HD w/extended battery and hood
Dash Camcorder - JVC Everio GZ-MG330 30GB

Lights Over Gardner

Here's a few of the many great shots i took over Gardner on 6-22-09.

Father's Day LP Cell

I had a surprise chase on Father's Day weekend which was special because my 9-year old son joined me. We caught up with this LP cell with amazing structure and my son filmed his first tornado. We later gave a news team from KMBC some photos which made the news that night. Great Father's Day present!

Supercells & Lightning

Here's a few photos from my latest trip to SE KS & NW MO.
