This little pop-up cell that formed just west of me on Tuesday evening has been the extent of “storm chasing” in over a month. This elevated view near my home always provides a nice open sky and long sightlines.

After a long wait there was finally a severe weather setup somewhat close to home. I raced south to the highest risk area only to see storms develop closer on an outflow boundary north of me. I was setup, but a little too close, when this supercell crossed the river.

Shot #4. Believe it or not, I did no color adjustment to the sky in this image. There was nothing I could change to make it better. The only edit I made was lighting the foreground and lifting the shadows. All four images where taken with three-stop HDR over three frames with multi-layer panoramas.

Shot #3. I kept moving within about a 50 yard stretch of road to position the clouds and tree the best as the light changed.

Shot #2. More colors started showing up in the clouds as the sun sunk lower to the horizon.

Wednesday evening I chased after a couple of the pop-up storms on the east side of town After the biggest died out only one more storm remained. I setup north of the storm and watched it slowly weaken throughout sunset. This is the first of four images taken over 45 minutes. It wasn’t a big storm, but the color and structure change were impressive during sunset.
