I was surrounded by two storms just southeast of Amarillo, TX, in the Caprock Canyons. Lightning was striking everywhere; it was amazing to not get rained on for over an hour as the storms moved in. I was using the @_BoltHunter and got this one striking near the plateau in the distance. #txwx #pnw #chaser #storm

@lorigracewx @_BoltHunter I have to say, I set my expectations really low with this. My camera was 100 ms shutter lag, so I figured it wouldn't work. I detected 330 lightning bolts and got pictures of most of them. Including some tracers in the clouds and back-to-back strikes.

Yesterday was absolutely spectacular by Sidney, Nebraska. I haven’t had such an enjoyable chase in quite a while. Wow. #newx

Last night was one of the greatest supercell sunsets I’ve ever had by Lampman, Saskatchewan. My first time visiting and chasing in Canada,
Why I consider myself a storm chaser and not a tornado chaser.

Weirdest lightning optics that I've ever seen. Not sure what's going on here #wywx

⚡️What an active sunset today along the Pikes Peak region. Super electric hailstorm with the sun lighting up the back!

Finally tested out my @_BoltHunter for the first time last night on the backside of last night’s storms in the Omaha area, and gotta say, it really impressed me once I got the settings down! Can’t wait to try it in better conditions! #NEwx

It’s hard to imagine images like this were hidden in the gobbledygook presented on radar yesterday in Nebraska. The @_BoltHunter did not miss on my 12 year old D810.

While processing photos tonight I came across this crawler that you can actually see branching out and the @_BoltHunter what is able to capture the extension off the crawler. I don’t know the scientific term for all this, but I am attaching the photo video from Lightroom and a Snapchat video of it actually happening in real time and hearing the trigger go off.

Very fitting that my first bolt shot (finally!) contains power lines

I was sitting on the side of the road in the pitch black just outside of Council Grove, Kansas. I had hundreds of fireflies flying around the surface just after each lightning strike. It was the coolest thing to see. It really depended on how strong the bolt was and how long the fireflies would actually stay down. This was one of those strong bolts 😮 ⚡️ @_BoltHunter #kswx #pnw #chaser #storm
