Tuesday June 24th, 2014 the storms keep rolling in every afternoon. This was a good one because it came in right after sunset. There were a ton of cloud to cloud and inter-cloud burst. Not my real favorite to shoot. This is a view of lightning bursting out of a thunderhead cloud above a country lake in Southwest Weld County, south of Meade and Berthoud Colorado.

The first stop on this storm chase as I am under a massive thunderstorm tidal wave. The sky was lighting up the sky pretty good with big inter-cloud burst. This big massive storm cloud was moving very fast… The sky was lighting up pretty good with big inter-cloud burst. This was the first stop on my storm chase. Big massive storm clouds moving very fast. At this point the lightning strikes were cloud to cloud and inter- cloud. Here is a good example of the monster thunderstorm above me with the bolt just peeking out the center of the storm. So here we are on the double yellow lines, with a little light painting to light them up. When that say isolated thunderstorms you can see how this one is “isolated”, with star trails above and around the thunderhead. A Colorado lightning thunderstorm cell with lightning striking and mean looking clouds. Lightning is caused by an electrical charge in the atmosphere that is unbalanced. The movement of rain and ice inside a thundercloud creates an electrical charge, with the negative charge (electrons) forming at the bottom of the cloud and the positive charge (protons) forming at the top. One of the last shots out of this storm chase and lightning photo session. The rain came in and I hung on as long as I could when I got this image. Water started hitting the lens as you can tell from this image. A Colorado spring thunderstorm striking in the late night above a red barn on a farm and what a beautiful sight. This is another one my first storm chase of the 2014 season and what a great show. It was a great night of many images to be had of this beautiful thunderstorm landscape, as you can tell from recent post. |
