Dust Storm...

AMAZING!!!! I am still trying to pick my jaw up off the ground. While on a business trip in Tempe, AZ this crazy dust storm; known as a Haboob, rolled in. Granted this is an iPhone pano, but its all I could grab to get the image. Still in awe of the power of this spectacle.

Icepocalypse 2013

We are currently having the craziest storm of the year. ​Rain, ice, sleet, thunder, lightning, and up to 8 inches of snow are now possible. This may be the craziest spring I have ever witnessed.

Revisiting the storm...

Here is a HDR shot with my sigma 17-35mm. Same location as the previous 2 posts.

This was the first shot I took. I never realized there was an apartment on this rooftop, I think it's absolutely amazing!!!

This is the top if the buildings on Phillips avenue, between 10th and 11th streets.

Thanks again for looking.

Storm HDR

20120502-181820.jpg Went out to see the storm last night. Again it was just mugging us, and all the major stuff was too far out to get a decent photograph. So I decided to improvise, I grabbed my fisheye lens, and hung out of the parking ramp. I did a handheld, 13 bracket, her shot. I was pretty pleased that I kept it mostly stable.

I processed this with photomatix. I went for more of the surreal/painting style shot for this one. I toned down the saturation, and dropped the gamma to give it some grit.

Overall not a bad shot for what I was working with, and I'm still overly addicted to HDR photography!!!

Comment, follow, and thank you for viewing.
