Each time I think about stepping away from the chase and photography, something naturally pulls me back in. It’s not trying to capture the best tornado or structure of the year. It’s not the adrenaline rush that comes with the chase when

If you would have told me that my first storm chase of the year would consist of capturing upward lightning off of Willis Tower in Chicago during February, there would have been no chance of me believing you. If anything, I would have laughed. Yet, t

I’ve been pretty lucky to see a fair share of photogenic tornadoes in my short time as a storm chaser, but the Yuma, Colorado tornado still gives me those magical feels every time I look at photos/videos from that day. The perfect tube, with th

Lightning 🤝 Utah desert canyons

Starting to believe I should just become a desert monsoon storm chaser at this point. Zoom in to check out the landing point on the right bolt creating a star like effect as it lights up the canyon ridge. ⛈️

Monsoonal showers provide relief from the scorching heat of the desert at Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

I have another composition with much closer bolts from this spot, but in true Justin fashion I’m saving it because that’s just

Lightning captured with tornadoes are a combo that are rarely captured in the world of storm chasing. To capture a bolt going through a tornado on a DSLR was unheard of…until this year.

Chasing in the high plains of the Midwest (specifically western Nebraska, Wyoming and eastern Colorado) requires patience and a detailed eye for analysis of data. Storms tend to require a perfect balance of atmospheric ingredients and often times are

White Sands National Park 🤝 Lightning

This photo marks the third National Park that I’ve been lucky enough to capture lightning in. Although this was taken in early June of this year, I never felt the need to release any of the bolts capture

Watching this bolt slam the canyon ledge amongst the buttes in the Canyonlands/Dead Horse Point area was one of the wildest things I’ve seen this year. It’s often hard to imagine just how minuscule we are in the grand scheme of things. Ho

It has been a while since we’ve had a decent opportunity at northern lights in the United States but it appears that changes this weekend. A few days ago a filament erupted on the sun and sent a CME (coronal mass ejection) hurtling towards Eart

The town of Wheatland, New Mexico gets visited by one of the more beautifully sculpted supercells I have seen during night time storm chasing. The sheer size and textures this storm provided was something I had not witnessed in quite a while.

I am still at a loss of words when it comes to yesterday’s chase in Colorado. Chaos was everywhere. Close lightning bolts, suction vortices dropping mere yards away at one point as we raced to stay ahead, dusty RFD’s with baseball sized

Lightning illuminates the Colorado River below us as it strikes the canyon walls at Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. Perhaps the best lightning show (and forecast) of my career, with bolts landing all around us and in the canyon.

Tomorrow will most likely be the start of monsoon season for me as I make my way down to the Southwest in search of some big bolts. Figured it was only appropriate to share my closest captured strike so far this year.

This bolt landed roughly 300-5
