I was able to storm spot or chase from May 23rd to May 28th. The video below are highlights from each day. There was no way I could have put every lightning strike into one video without it being over 20 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it.

I have been busy either watching storms come in or going out storm chasing from May 23rd to May 28th, six straight days of footage. Most of the storms came through close to my house so I didn’t have to drive anywhere. There were a couple of storms where I drove to storm watch and I got to chase one storm. With the storm chase, I had to get home quickly because I was getting chased by the storm. Below are the best shots from each day. I hope you like them.
May 23rd - south of Eunice, Louisiana
May 24th - southeast of Eunice, Louisiana
May 25th - south of Eunice, Louisiana
May 26th - north of Mamou, Louisiana
May 27th - southeast of Eunice, Louisiana (taken while under my carport)
May 28th - south of Eunice, Louisiana (two lightning strikes a frame apart from each other)
I am currently working on a video highlighting all of the lightning strikes from each day. I have several hours of footage to go through.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. If you haven’t subscribed, please do so. I am going to shut down my social media at the end of June. This website and YouTube will be my only focuses.
Thanks and Peace.
By far, my favorite thing to photograph is lightning. When I am able to catch a good bolt or streak, I get excited and I want to photograph more. Here are some of my favorite lightning shots I have been able to catch.
Taken August 21st 2017 during a storm east of my house.
Taken May 01 2016 during a severe thunderstorm right outside my house.
Taken July 11 2014. This was my first and only full moon, stars, and lightning in one shot taken in Branch, La.
Taken September 13 2013 - My first cloud to ground strike shot south of Eunice, La.
Taken August 24 2015. This storm chase lasted around three hours and was shot south of Eunice, La.
I have been trying to capture lightning on and off since 2007 when I was stationed in San Angelo, Texas. I have been an official storm spotter since 2013 when I started storm spotting with Andy Thibodeaux of Cajun Weather Spotters here in southern Louisiana. His Facebook page is right here. If you are in the southern Louisiana area, give Andy a follow. He gives weather updates especially when there is severe weather in the area.
This is the first of many posts of my favorite lightning captures. I hope you like it. If you have any questions, please comment below. If you like my content, please like and subscribe.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. There is a chance of thunderstorms this weekend. Maybe I can get more lightning. Take care. Peace.
Since I’m focusing on improving my mobile photography, I invested into some attachable lenses from Moment. I have been following them on YouTube and decided to get some of their lenses and see what I can create with them. They were running a sale at the time, so I got their 1.33 Anamorphic Lens, Wide 18mm Angle Lens, Telephoto 58mm Lens, and Macro 10x Lens. I also got their phone case so the lenses can attach to the phone.
1.33 Anamorphic Lens
I’m having fun with these lenses. My favorite one so far has to be the Macro lens. I’ve really enjoyed figuring this lens out and seeing what it can do.
If you get a chance, grab a case, lens, and have some fun. I will post pictures from each lens so you can see what I was able to capture with them. I am no way affiliated with Moment or their products. I just like their stuff and wanted to share with you.
I hope everyone has a good one. Peace.
Yesterday, we had several tornado warned storms in the area. Down here in southern Louisiana, we don’t get many tornado warned storms and we had quite a few. One of the storms passed by my house and I was able to get some pictures of it.

I hope you enjoy these shots. There was a fatality from this storm not too far from where I live.
There are clear skies today and no chances of rain for next few days. I’m hoping we can dry out before we get more rain.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and week. Talk to y’all later. Peace.
On May 16th, we had storms come through the area. I drove out to one of my favorite areas to storm spot and documented the storm chase.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please like, comment, and subscribe to my YouTube channel and here if you haven’t yet.
Thanks and have a good one. Peace.
