Storm cell at sunset

July 23, 2012

I missed out shooting the incredible monsoon weather we’ve had the past three days – a seemingly endless parade of haboobs, thunderstorms, lightning, rain and sunsets – until this evening when I walked out my front door to this sublime view.

Fortunately, when I’m doing other things, I can live vicariously through the work of awesome local stormchasing photographers like Mike Olbinski, Bryan Hellman, Bryan Snyder, Larry Reeves and more.

Dust storm time-lapse

July 15, 2012

A small dust storm rolled through Phoenix this afternoon. I shot this looking south from the Ahwatukee foothills area of southern Phoenix. As a bonus, I added a second segment also shot today (immediately before the haboob) of clouds building over South Mountain.
