Storm shots from a cold front

This past Friday, we had a cold front come through the area. With the cold front, we had some storms pop up and it produced a nice light show. I was able to get some video and pictures after it passed the house. Here are some of the still shots I was able to get. The first shot was a double rainbow I was able to catch when I first starting shooting.

We are having a strong cold front come through later on this week. The temperatures are going to be in the 60s for highs and 40s for lows. I’m hoping for storms so I can get more lightning shots.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Halloween week.

Where to find me - with links

Good Monday morning. It’s Labor Day here in the US. It’s also my birthday. I’ve been on this Earth for 53 years now. There isn’t anything planned for today. A couple of people are coming by to hang out. I wanted to share where I can be found on the internet. I’m going to delete my Facebook account soon. The main reason I stayed on so I could stay in touch with family and friends during Hurricane Laura. I’m not liking the way Facebook is going so I’m going to step away. I’ll continue to be on Instagram for the time being but I will step away from there by the end of the year (if not sooner). My goal is to concentrate on my website and YouTube channel exclusively.

Storm Chasing Chronicles #4 - Impromptu Lightning Hunt

Last night coming home from Lafayette, Louisiana, there was quite a bit of lightning in the area. It was unexpected. On the way, I started the video on my phone and got a bunch of lightning footage. Check out the below video of what I was able to get.

I hope you like the video. Please like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t. Thanks.

Storm Chasing Chronicles #3

Storm Chasing Chronicles #3 is up on YouTube. I finished editing the video last night and was able to upload it over night (yes my internet is that bad). I hope you enjoy the footage I was able to get. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven’t yet.

Thanks for watching. I greatly appreciate it. If you haven’t subscribed to my blog, please do so. I’m hoping to have Hurricane Laura coverage when she hits us Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Thanks for supporting me. I greatly appreciate it. Shalom.

2020 steps up the game

2020 has stepped up the game this month. Southern Louisiana now has two tropical systems heading for our coast. As of writing this post, Louisiana has Tropical Storm Laura and Hurricane Marco on the way. Hurricane Marco will hit first sometime on Tuesday. Southeast Louisiana is the target for this storm. The track has it moving west and I will probably get to see it. Here is the latest graphic from the National Hurricane Center.

The second system, TS Laura, is the one to watch. She has the potential to become a Category 2/Category 3 before landfall. If you look at the graphic below, south central Louisiana is on the east side of the storm. The east side of the storm is the dangerous side of the storm. If she comes in during the day, I will get to see it. Here is the latest on Tropical Storm Laura from the National Hurricane Center.

I will give updates during the week if we don’t lose power/cellphone usage. I’m hoping to get storm footage as each system comes through.

Have a wonderful week. Shalom.

TouchRetouch App for mobile photography editing

One of my goals with this blog/website is to provide free resources for people who like to edit pictures on their phones. Today I will talk about the TouchRetouch App (Google) (IOS). I have had this app on my phone for a while now and I put it to the test yesterday, editing a lightning shot from this past weekend’s storm. Below is a before and after of the picture using the app.

If you are into using your phone for your whole photography process, I recommend this app.
