This was the last image of my Clouds 365 Project. For those of you that don’t know me (that would be a lot!) I photographed the sky and posted a shot everyday to http://www.clouds365.com for 5 Years between 2009-2014. I have been a storm chaser for years, but I never had taken my family out, until June 30, 2014.

It has always been important to me to pass on my love of weather to my family, so we decided to chase storms together on the last day of my project. We drove 8 hours from Dallas, TX to Guymon, Oklahoma and caught this amazing supercell at sunset. To me, this was the perfect ending I always wanted to my project. I wanted to honor and thank them with this last image. The storm is not as close as it appears, but close enough 🙂

This is one image. I had a remote timer taking half second exposures every 5 seconds. We stood very still for 5-6 frames. I was lucky enough to get this shot on the first frame! What a amazing experience. Hope you enjoy the image.
