| Some major changes coming during 2011 summer time thunderstorm season here in the Florida Keys. First of all, my lightning photography equipment has gotten to a stage where it is just too old to be able to deliver great results. I will be purchasing a brand new camera and will be completely rejuvenated and ready to bring some amazing lightning photography here during the upcoming season. Another very busy waterspout season is just around the corner and we will be ready to go out there and capture some of the most intense waterspout video and high resolution photographs to date. Also possibly planning a trip to Midwest this late Spring to chase and film supercell thunderstorms. This will greatly depend on a daily work schedule, but will probably fly out for a few days each time, depending on the setup. |
