October 7 Chase

Got a chance to chase in Nebraska on October 7 -- we had a nice cold front come through and linger in the area, touching off a few brief mini supercells mixed in with storm clusters and more linear segments. Basically, not a great setup, but you can't complain about any convection you get in October!


The southern side of a storm in central Nebraska.  Not too exciting, but like I said, can't complain for October!


Best thing to do on a boring chase -- take photos of everything else!  I'm not sure what this sign was about -- this reminds me a bit of the "Hoof and Mouth" warning signs you see in the U.K.  



This corn silo looked quite nice -- and was a good test to see how well it would look in an HDR.  The flare off of my new lens (the Tokina 11-16) is not too pretty, IMO.  



The light from the silo illuminated the corn in the foreground.  



This storm was tornado warned as I shot this photo (just on the eastern outskirts of Kearney, Nebraska).  Not sure why -- it looked half way interesting on radar, (with the classic mini supercell shape), but there wasn't much going on with the base of it, at least so far as I could see from the illuminated lights of Kearney.

Don't throw out the silo shot! The flare gives it...well, flare! I like it.

I have the same issue with my 11-16. Doesn't seem to be picky about the light source either (the moon, street lights, reflections of house lights. FWIW, it seems to like to flare green more often than not.
