lightning in Oklahoma City one night in 2004. Handheld, no tripod. Camera set at f/8 with ISO 100. Exposure 5 seconds and stopped after the lightning occured.
sept. 10, 2006 lightning in the Swiss Alps. It was still in the evening, not dark night yet, so I had to set the camera differently : ISO 100, f/11, and 4 seconds exposure.
A lucky catch ... No tripod. I shot it out of my window.

a strange formation on a thunderstorm in Texas. This is what makes the beauty of Tornado Alley. Even when there's no tornado, Mature Nature can be spectacular.

I am a sky paparazzo, shooting storms, lightning, tornadoes, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and more. Well, that is my "other" life. Just like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide, I have two personalities. In my official life I am a limo driver in Geneva Switzerland. I drive fancy cars for fancy people. You know, you gotta make a living, right ? But whenever I can , I pack my camera and head out to see spectacular events in the skies. Chasing storms in Tornado Alley , and total eclipses of the Sun...
