May 15 distant Illinois lightning
|
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. |
I opted to shoot last night's storms from home, as I didn't think they would last long enough for me to get closer. This lightning is about 70 miles to my north, shot with the 50mm lens at 800 ISO. These aren't much, but they bring the lightning-photos-every-month streak to 17.
An early-morning complex of weak storms is rolling through the area now, which will likely eliminate our chances of seeing anything else chase-worthy today. Another local lightning chase is possible here tomorrow, then it's off to the Plains for Saturday.
