Album Weather, Storms and Clouds

It just means you seem to be a fair weather hotspot. Wherever you go, it's sunny, so if I go where you're at, I'll be in good weather.

That last photo is pretty dramatic. We used to go flood chasing when I lived in Moab - wait a few minutes after a big rain, then drive down the river canyon to look for waterfalls.

I see. I only go in the summer so fair weather is the last thing I want. I wind up sitting in the shade. When it's cloudy I can at least wander around.

Lightning trigger? Timed exposure? Or just lucky? I doubt it's luck.

Lots of luck. I set my camera to take bursts of five second exposure shots. 10 shots per (max my camera would do.) I'd press the button, let the camera do its thing, and hope lightning flashed. Took maybe 70 pictures for five with lightning.

Thank you. I've been reading about it. What I've come up with was 10-11 second exposures which would work out in the back country but probably not in city lights. I plan on doing a lot of practice in the next two months.

I. Love. It! I've had a strong desire to take my GoPro out and timelapse monsoonal stuff this past couple weeks and to flood chase. I'd love to take footage like this. My GoPro auto-exposes though, so I'm not sure what I can get as conditions darken.

Mike Olbinski is one of the best. Check out his other vids. You can ride on his dashcam when he chases.

I'll be going down several times this monsoon. Probably hit the Wedge mid week. Maybe go farther if the storms hole up. Let me know if you want to meet up on the road. Needles Overlook is another great place to observe storms. Great carcamps 1/4 mile from the end. Fry Canyon is a fun one when flooding.
