Today's photo is a panoramic stitch from a beautiful supercell near Dodge City, Kansas, June 9, 2009. This storm was truly a diamond in the rough on what was supposed to be a crazy day of chasing in eastern Kansas. The steering committee of V2 quickly decided that the setup in eastern Kansas wasn't going to pan out, so they booked west into what most chasers would have called a "crap setup" relying on nothing more than a very educated guess by their forcasters. Result? They found one of the most photogenic storms of the day. While this never produced a tornado, it was easily one of the prettiest storms I shot in 2009, eventually transitioning into an LP supercell.

Wow, that is one photogenic storm!
It is indeed beautiful. As a cloud painter, I am abjectly envious of your storm pictures!! Great work!
I'm a long-time lurker, first-time commenter. And I'm curious: How many separate photos did this take?
Hi, Andrew! This took 9 or 10 images to make -- though that's because I like to have a lot of overlap between each frame. You could probably get away with shooting 5 or 6 shots to get this.
Absolutely stunning!
