Atmospheric Generator

Atmospheric Generator

The amazing Kinsley nighttime supercell, here shown in an early shot soon after I arrived at a good viewing spot, was the gift that kept on giving for keeping this storm observer awestruck.   Fortunately grounded electricity stayed close to the visible updraft region or inside the core, so that this observer wasn’t “lightning-struck”.   Much to my relief, it produced no anvil-to-ground bolts while I was out there.  Otherwise, the storm generated lightning of all forms so continually that 5-10-second time exposures sufficed to glow the entire low/middle-level cloud structure, and sometimes upper levels too.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
