The secret to successful "Storm Chasing" is that you must realize early on that you ARE NOT going to get to see a tornado or get a photo of one every time you go out chasing. Once you realize that, chasing becomes more pleasureable. Last night Chris Howell and I shot over to North central Indiana on the middle of a 5% tornado risk. We got a couple of nice cells that tracked NE right to us near Legonier, Indiana. It made for some nice photos, our equipment was put to its first test, a good practice run for the chase in 9 days in the plains. As we drove home, I noticed some wonderful cells drenched in golden evening light, we quickly stopped and found a pictorial little lake and shot some of the prettiest sunset photos I have seen in a long time.
