October 22 lightning show with fall colors
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. 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. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels.

It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |

It is a very rare event where the lightning is frequent enough that I can try for short-exposure daytime stills. These are 8/10th second exposures at F22:
