Hernan Cortes My buddy who is also from Chicago. Got himself real close to a lightning strike with his video camera rolling. Great photos of the strike and the damage it caused. |
|
Chuck Doswell. This guy is the Obe One of the lightning photography world. He's so bad his site is on the NOAA's server! |
|
Warren Faidley. The world's only full-time paid stormchaser. Or so he says. Killer photographer. He also has a great book out called Stormchaser. |
|
David 'Stormguy' Crowley. This guy takes some of the best photos I've ever seen. Really gifted photographer. Also check out his Storm Photographers International group. |
|
Mike Bath. I usually make it a policy not to link to any pages on Geocities because they suck. But this guy's photos defiantly do not! Check it out even though it takes forever to load. |
|
Darren Johnston. Calls himself the 'stormstalker.' He has some great photos and put together a very nice website. |
|
Douglas 'Lightning Boy' Kiesling. Also calls himself the 'Lord of the Lightning' I guess after watching to much Riverdance. The site is a little loud and confusing but it's worth dealing with to see his photos. |
|
Nick Djordjevic. Some very nice photos from the land down under. Kudos on the nice site as well. |
|
Australian Severe Weather. Lots of photos of all kinds of weather taken by various Australian photographers. |
|
Striking Images Inc.. A stock photography house that specializes in lightning photos. You have to dig around to get to the photos but it's well worth it. |
