May 15 distant Illinois lightning
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. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
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.
