Haybales

I shot this near Comstock, Nebraska, on a storm chase. This is looking back at a supercell at the end of a chase -- this thing put down a 1/4th mile wide tornado about 30 minutes before this was taken. I love the light of sunset when it interacts with storms; you get some of the most dramatic contrasts imaginable.

In the Storm Chaser photo essay.
