on the plains again…

I have been storm chasing on the plains the past couple of days with Margie and Jennifer, and hopefully we will continue to see some opportunities over the next week. Storms thus far have been lackluster. Before development yesterday I did capture this image using my new Manfrotto tripod.

Spring shows…

Here’s a couple of shots from some recent auto shows that I made it to. Both were in Albuquerque over the past month. This first shot was actually a restored ’55 Chevy for sale outside of the Muscle Car Nationals show. No, I didn’t buy it ;-)

The second is of a new Boss 302 Mustang that was taken at the Motor Trend International Auto Show. This bad boy just looks mean.

Supermoon at the Upper Air Station (NWS Albuquerque)

This is a double exposure of last night’s “supermoon” and the Upper Air Inflation Station at the Albuquerque Weather Forecast Office. This was all done in camera. The only post-processing I did was some minor sharpening and I adjusted the black levels a little bit. The moon was taken zoomed in at 300mm (effectively 450mm on a digital sensor) at 1/600 shutter speed and the foreground was shot with a different lens at 33mm for a 2 second exposure.

trip to Seattle…

I attended the American Meteorological Society (AMS) meeting in Seattle in January, and was able to do a bit of sightseeing around the city and the western part of Washington.  You can see some of the images in a slideshow linked off of my home page (submenu under Urban Gallery).  Here’s a few of my favorites.
