Storm Chasing: 13 Incredible Storm Photos
Categories: Cool Photos, Featured
Written By: lightstalking
Photos of storms can be about the most atmospheric and gripping of any landscape photography. In fact some people make storm photography and chasing storms their photographic specialty, following weather and forecast reports like hawks.
We’re sure you will agree that the images of storms that they produce are well worth the specialization with spectacular images seeming to be the norm rather than the exception for many talented storm photographers. That’s why we put together this little tribute of 13 awesome storm photos for you to enjoy.
If you think there are any storm photos that we should have included in this list or think you have a photograph of storms that you want to put up against these ones, then let us know in the comments!
Click on any of the photos to be taken to the Flickr page and more information on each specific image.
Hopefully, these fantastic storm photos have inspired you to learn a little more about the topic of photographing storms. Now whether you just want to learn how to photograph the storms that come your way or if you want to become a fully-fledged storm chaser, we have a few links that might be worth visiting for you.

@concerned – damn, how totally embarrassing!!! I could have sworn I did the creative commons search when I was getting this post together!! I have replaced the offending couple of photos with creative commons ones that are equally awesome. Sorry for the mess up.

@concerned – yeah, no problem. I am still trying to figure out how I messed that up and going through the posts I have prepared for the next few days to make sure I have got the right photos!. :( What an idiot!

The first one with the green sea bottom is spectacular. I was wondering were some fotos digitaly put together. Like taking the right sky first, than the tree at the right time of the day, to ret the correct shadow and so on. Or was it taken in one shot with filters, perticulr angle lends etc. I have no fotos of my own aas yet ‘cose my agency lost my luggage in the Carabbean together with my equipmet and all my photos. Now I bought a Casio Exilim G 2.13 , 10.1, shock resistant and 10m waterproof, which will have to do for the time beeing untill I can afford propper equipment. By the way I am a novice, but now I’ll have to work even harder. All in good time. Hey, I have to buy something to ware first. Still, I love to shoot, and learn eaven more.
