Storm Chasing The Eastern Plains

Recent Photography on November 12th, 2011 No Comments

Sure I’ve got quite a passion for landscapes but I’ve been watching my storm-chasing buddies over the past few years with great interest. So with some training and a few gadgets, I joined my friends out on the eastern plains of Colorado chasing big storm cells. I’ll have to say it was pretty exciting!

Night-Time Mission To Boston

With optimal moonlight in the forecast, I made some plans for a return to a familiar spot called Mayflower Gulch near Copper Mountain, Colorado. There are some rugged peaks and remains of an old ghost town just above timberline that I’d been thinking about using for another star trail stacking effort.
