Lightning with rainbow at sunrise, March 16
|
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. |
An unexpected 'hometown chase' this morning breaks this week's pattern of work/missing storms. Thunder announced the presence of new storms to the west just before sunrise. Clear skies to the east meant a rainbow was imminent, creating a rare juxtaposition made even rarer by the fact that it was happening in the morning.

I tried reaction stills, catching a couple of flashes - but the bright daylight scene made the contrast of the channels suffer.
