Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken near Dodge City, Kansas in the United States. It was taken off a dirt road near a farm.

Time

After seeing several other tornadoes, this one was extremely photogenic. The afternoon to early evening provided perfect lighting. We stopped the vehicle and took this shot without a tripod due to muddy ditch as well as I wanted to capture the second tornado developing on the right in the frame.

Lighting

The lighting for this particular shot was perfect. The sun was behind us and provided a perfect contrast to the tornadoes in front of us. The fact the we were behind the tornadoes and the sun was behind us also provided me to capture the amazing details of the tornado and the tornado's "debris cloud", which can be seen churning up dirt.

Equipment

This was shot with a Canon Rebel T5i with a 18-55mm lens with no tripod.

Inspiration

I wanted to capture the powerful high-based tornado, the debris it was picking up and the second tornado developing on the right in the same frame. I was happy to have my wide-angle lens with me!

Editing

Yes, added some clarity, contrast for effect, saturation and some filters. I'm somewhat of a purist so I limit my editing to a realistic depiction of what it looked like.

In my camera bag

I usually carry a light bag since the kind of photography I do requires me to grab my camera very quickly to take pictures. I have Canon Rebel T5i and T3 with both 18-55mm lens on them, extra batteries, a sennheiser microphone, a 55-250mm lens and battery chargers.

Feedback

For storm photography, most of what you learn about photography techniques goes out the window. Most of the time you simply don't have time to adjust your perfect settings or even set up your tripod. Plus the rule of thirds become hard since most of your subjects are clouds and fields! Before you set up to take pictures too you have to make sure you are safe to step out and since storms always move, you have to be ready to move too. It's rare that you sit for more than 20mins filming a storm. The best way to capture something like this is to take as many pictures as you can while you are stopped, one of them is bound to be good!! The best advice is focus! Make sure your focus is good and your settings are good before you spam your shutter or else you'll be very disappointed.
