The Uprooted Photographer's photostream  

On February 24, 2012, a bit of severe weather moved across the Southeast US and created some tornadoes in NC and SC.

This 45 second exposure was shot at approximately 6:30 PM just outside New Bern, NC as more storm clouds rolled in.

Another beautiful sunset from New Bern, NC. The sun drops behind the Grande Marina beside the Hilton on the Trent River casting a great, warm light over everything.

I was feeling a bit homesick this morning, so I decided to revisit some of the images I shot during my December trip back home to Pittsburgh. There are so many in the archives that I haven't even processed yet! This was shot from the North Shore. That's the Roberto Clemente Bridge on the right with downtown reflecting against the Allegheny River. This was shot on a pre-dawn photowalk with Dave DiCello and Ben Beard.

Single exposure, tripod held. 25 second exposure, ISO-100, f/22

Shot somewhere in Eastern NC. I have no idea where I was...

After a routine print delivery to Vanceboro, NC today, I noticed some neat clouds in the sky. As I drove along, I began to see a really big billowing storm cloud that normally brings severe summer weather. Driving blindly with my eyes on the clouds, I took twists and turns until I had no idea where I was. That's when I came down a very long, straight road, cut a u-turn, got out of my Jeep and laid down on the road to shoot. I must have been on this stretch of road for half an hour and never saw another car. There was a brief period where the wind really kicked up and I thought the movie 'Twister' was going to play out in front of me, but luckily it blew by with nothing more than a little rain!

I was on a routine print delivery when I noticed some gnarly clouds rolling in. Before I knew it, I was on a 3 hour storm chase and was only stopped because I reached the coast. Shot with an iPhone 4, edited with Instagram.
