Storms
Stormy weather is our passion. We photograph it because we wish to express to others what we feel standing under the storm, whipped by the wind, and drenched by the rain. Add drama to your life, bring our storms into your home as art quality prints!
Tower Lightning - Sioux City Iowa - 4th of July, 2003
Artist: Brian Morganti
This was the first night of my chase trip in 2003. I arrived at my hotel late and went right to bed, but was soon awakened by thunder. There was a lot of lightning activity so I crawled back out of bed, got dressed and grabbed my cameras and headed back out on some back roads. I started noticing several radio antennas were being struck by lightning and decided to set up a tripod and see if I could get lucky on one of these strikes. It was raining and quite windy so I had to keep closing the shutter to avoid excessive movement in the final image. This was back in the slide era before digital, so I cringed at each failed shot and more wasted film. Finally I got the shot I was looking for with a spectacular fountain of lightning that was returned skyward immediately after the initial strike!
