How about one of the semi-super moon?

This shot was taken with my iPhone. It’s the first time I have tried this technique on such a small screen and I must say it isn’t easy.

Is it just me?

Click me

Or do the cameras on netbooks have a really unflattering angle?

Winter Day Blahs

There’s just no way to sugar coat a blah grey day like this!

Maybe I shoulda skipped that last burrito

I see a dolphin and a seahorse. Go…

Storm 08/09/2011

My first storm that I was able to follow was a blast. Had a few hiccups in the process, one being I forgot my camera so all I had was the one built into my phone. The other issue being that I was unable to get a hold of our local Skywarn net operators so I had to crank up my radio and talk with the central Indiana net. Once they got used to the fact that I tend to ramble we all got along great.

I did get to follow a cell that had rotation and even managed to generate a funnel but it never got past that stage. Probably a good thing considering the communication issues I was dealing with. So, lets get to some photos:

This is the cell when I started

Heavy precipitation, but still disorganized

Promising

Funnel as it was dying

Let me just take a moment to say that I was annoyed at this point. I had nowhere to pull off and my phone had slid off to the side. The funnel was quite impressive when I first spotted it.

Front of a new cell, cool look

I could have continued chasing but I was tired, mentally and physically. That precipitation in the distance was hard, fast, and as I found out, packed with pea size hail. I just sat on the side of the road and enjoyed the clattering on the roof of my truck till I could see the road again!

It’s almost that time again!

Fair time is coming. Rides are being setup as I type this. I usually am rather excited about this, not so much this year.

Maybe by the time it actually starts my enthusiasm will return but for now, I just don’t feel it. Not sure why, it’s a cornucopia of photography subjects just waiting to be shot.

Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the fact that it’s going to be hot as blazes out there the entire week. Maybe I’m just getting too old to enjoy it. Maybe my health has something to do with it.

Anyway, I need to go shake myself out of this funk. Going to go find someone to talk to on my radio.
