Layers over Lightning

2016-07-15 By Roger Edwards

Layers over Lightning

Wild skies kept wafting past, as a series of cores in a slow-moving storm complex flung electricity between cloud and ground.  All the while, surrounding sky flickered in a high-voltage disco strobe, a throbbing dance of light, arrhythmic pulsations:  left, right, near and yonder, to the music of differential airflow.  Shortly following this shot, the onset of light rain signaled the time to pack gear and return to the vehicle, with lightning closing in from three sides and above, safety dictating that the photographer choose to live to shoot another storm on another night.

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...
