Behind The Lens

Location

I was chasing this storm in and around Adams County in Iowa.

Time

The tornado formed late afternoon, and was to the northwest of my position at first.

Lighting

Staying out of the hail and rain is important when chasing to get the best lighting and photos of the storm. The greenery of the landscspe, the clear skies behind the tornado all complimented the image composition.

Equipment

I used a Canon T6i with a 18/55 lens. Hand held as I was always looking for the best views to accent the storm.

Inspiration

The passion I have for moments.

Editing

Other than contrast a hair, no.

In my camera bag

I have 2 canon cameras, a backup Samsung, mirror less, and lens in a variety of sizes.

Feedback

Always have an escape route in case the storm takes an abrupt turn. Have knowledge of storm motions, drive carefully, and be aware of your surroundings
