We spent 5 days in southern Arizona chasing monsoon thunderstorms with some amazing photographers and friends. This type of photography is far different from the traditional landscape photography you're used to seeing. It was pretty hard to vlog while we frantically chased these, so hopefully you enjoy!
Here is a list of our storm chasing friends in the video!

Gosh this was so great you guys! So many wonderful images I won’t even try to pick a favorite. Just so much fun watching you all getting after it. A couple years ago I did a storm chasing tour with one of big companies. It was fantastic and I got lots of pictures I really love and it was a great experience. But so much driving to get in position for tornado warned storms all over the Midwest and into Canada. 500-800 miles per day. Well this same company does a southwest monsoon tour every year and apparently there’s much less driving. That’s very appealing. Anyway thanks for another great video guys!

That sounds so exciting! Tornado chasing is still on both of our bucket lists!

Really really enjoyed following this stuff. Even with years spent in Arizona, I don't think I ever properly appreciated the pure magic of the monsoon weather for photography. In truth, not much beyond sitting on the back porch with a glass of something watching the lightning storms. The photos that came out of this trip have been super inspiring and helped me completely see a whole different set of photographic possibilities in Arizona for future visits back home. Thanks for that and the stunning work. Really exciting projects, and has definitely tickled my interest in learning more about perfecting storm-based photography and settings.

So much epicness in one video, I'm jealous! To be with that amazing group of photographers chasing stunning storms is just next level. I've followed you since the start and followed Nick and Shainblum for years too, just love all your work. Only recently discovered Mike and Paige about 6 or so months ago who are also so good! The church image was gorgeous and I hope you get lightning there one day as that would be awesome.

@MidlifeRovers 3 года назад

I'm so jealous of these skies. Due to the base humidity and altitude, storms are largely hidden in Ohio by a flat grey blanket. It's pretty rare to see one like this.... And when you do..... RUN 😜🏃🏃🏃

@PI4YOU 3 года назад

Very nice images. Have you tried shooting storms from the top of South Mountain? Definitely a different perspective. Whatever freeway toward Phoenix to Central Ave and go South. There's a park entrance and fee of ?. There used to be an annual "hill climb" race up the mountain. Have fun and refuse to be a burned cookie in the oven. That's what I call living through Phoenix hear. Cheers

@nrlondon7959 3 года назад

I really enjoyed this video. I had considered going down to southern Utah but I changed my mind. Unfortunately, that area was nailed with lightning and heavy rains. Question, does anyone in your group using lightning triggers? If so, is there a recommended product? Thanks for your awesome video and photos. Nyall

@ddw61 3 года назад

Hi Mike & Chris so glad I found your channel. I am in Wyoming right now on a wildfire but will be in AZ. this winter would love to take a class with you. I am looking to upgrade my camera an old d300. I am looking at a Canon t7i your thoughts on that body.

@PereaPhotography 3 года назад

Thanks David! We’d love to have you on a workshop! Neither one of us have any experience with that particular camera, but I haven’t heard anything bad about it.

@tyeeggleston6159 3 года назад

Epic photos from you two. I a so zealous, you have so much open area to shoot storms from. Im stuck shooting from my garage, even though I do get some great shots. Can you tell me what lens you use and the aperture and timing. I use a 20mm with 9.5 aperture with a 12 second shot with 1 to 2 seconds in between. Most of mine are at night. I would love to storm chase with yall someday....keep up the great pics. BTW, the shot of the lightning hitting the mountain was top shelf......

@PereaPhotography 3 года назад

Thanks Tye! My settings are all over the place haha. It all depends on the light, and if I’m trying to catch lightning, or a storm timelapse. The key is leaving as little as possible in between shutter and interval.

@johnray424 3 года назад

Question, when you were shooting for lightening at 10:00 in video. Would having in M and setting f/stop and shutter and switching to Auto ISO be better so not stopping? Use exposure compensation as well. I am learning myself, very beginning of trying this and would like to know your thoughts sir.

@PereaPhotography 3 года назад

Hey John! That is definitely another option. The issue with auto iso is of course, noise. It’s usually the last thing I change. I’d much rather have a longer exposure time and wider aperture before I change my iso. Another thought. As it gets closer to night, I tend to remove any auto settings and go full manual, adjusting iso and shutter speeds manually. The reason is that lightning can drastically change exposure, depending on how close you are and how big the actual strike is, and the camera tends to over exposure in really low light. Hope that helps!

@@PereaPhotography makes perfect sense. Thank you for the response!

@muleyg Год назад

Great video. What map app are you using @3:48?

@cd1982 2 года назад

what lens do you use for your lightning shots ? and which lens do you use for your random landscape shots?

@PereaPhotography 2 года назад

My favorite lightning lens is my 70-200 f2.8 S lens. It does great in low light. But I also use my 24-70 f4. As far as general landscape, I use a combination of all of my lenses. My favorite would have to be my 14-30 f/4 S.

@cd1982 2 года назад

@@PereaPhotography great work. Thanks for sharing your experience and work... I have a d7500 right now. I'm wanting to get a z6ii I like shooting landscape. I'd probably get an adapter to use my lenses I also want to get the sigma 14-24mm f2.8. I like to shoot at night also.
