I'm Your Chase Partner
|
This is not a typical storm chasing "Tour." You are my chase partner. Whether you are from the U.S. or abroad, I accept chase partners of all levels. If you decide to be my storm chasing partner, we will be driving all over the U.S.A. and Canada to chase severe weather. Wherever the storms are, that's where we'll be!
I've been storm chasing for more than 20 years. I chase purely for the pleasure of watching and experiencing the storms. I primarily chase to see tornadoes; although, I do love structure. A nice mothership can really make my day! Naturally, there's no guarantee that we will see tornadoes, but that's what we will most often be shooting for. We will drive long distances to chase anything worthwhile... North Dakota, Texas, and even Canada aren't out of the question. I do like to get close to tornadoes, but this is entirely dependent on the safety of the situation. I am not going to put myself and my chase partners in unnecessarily dangerous situations. Even if you have little or no storm chasing experience and little or no working knowledge of meteorology or forecasting, but you want to learn, I can teach you. I am not a photographer or videographer, so I can't teach you how to get the best shot or tell you about the best cameras to use. However, I do ask that members of the chase team share photos and videos. I will focus on the storms and driving while I let my fellow chasers focus on photos and videos. Each member of the team gets a particular vantage point from the vehicle; therefore, I ask that photos and videos are shared because everyone may not have the same angle. If you are a professional photographer and sell your pictures, you do not have to share the photos you want to sell or enter into competitions. |
