More STL metro-east ice storm photos

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.

Thankfully, today's forecast verified, with clear skies prevailing for most of the day. The few minutes around sunrise and sunset provided the best lighting. I'm as ready for spring as anybody, but sights like these are really amazing, and make winter easier to appreciate. These are the kind of scenes where I'm actually disappointed in a camera's inability to capture the full glory of them as my eyes are seeing it. The thumbnails below link to the gallery page for this event, which also includes the rest of the photos from yesterday.
