Jhaz > Casa Grande Thundershower Movie This small five second movie is comprised of 53 frames, each representing 25 seconds of time. It covers 22 minutes in the life of an approaching thundershower. A nearly full moon and plenty of cloud-to-cloud lightning provide the light. Personally, I find it amazing to see the different directions of the clouds at the various levels. The pictures were taken west of Red Rock, Arizona, from 9:30 pm to 9:52 pm on August 19, 2005.
Jhaz > Tucson Wall Cloud Movie This very short MPEG movie shows a lowering of the cloud base of a severe thunderstorm over the far western portion of the city of Tucson, Arizona. This movie was created from a series of digital still pictures where I was trying to capture the clouds and lightning, so the movie is fairly choppy. It may show a simple lowering of the cloud base, a wall cloud, or a funnel cloud. It was associated with a "swirl" in the winds of the storm as it passed over south Tucson and then into the Tucson mountains. Taken about 1:00 am on the morning of August 8, 2005. There are 12 frames to the movie and each frame represents roughly 20 seconds of elapsed time or about 4 minutes from start to finish.
Jhaz > Twin Peaks Lightning in Blue Multiple lightning strikes during a very active thundershower over the Tucson Mountains. The white balance of this picture has been adjusted to provide a bluish result, similar to what some film cameras produce (just playing here). The picture was taken from Marana, Arizona, looking south towards Twin Peaks on August 6, 2005. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 45mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 6 second exposure.
Jhaz > The Saguaros are Watching Note: the final print will not be this bright. The picture has been adjusted to yield the best print results versus the best results for a monitor. The final picture will look like this (assuming your monitor is properly adjusted).This picture makes an excellent 16" x 20" print. If the picture will be behind glass, I recommend a matte print. For an 8" x 10" print, there is a 1/16" white border. For a 16" x 20" print, there is a 1/8" white border. There are no markings on the print. When purchasing, make sure to select "true" for color and "no crop" for crop.Prints are purchased through SmugMug.com and will be printed by EZPrints. My experience is that prints will arrive within about 5 business days for Express shipping and 16" x 20" prints are shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube.

Jhaz > Sunset Storm Lightning strikes near the Sierrita Mountains while the setting sun illuminates the thundershower. This was the beginning of an amazing evening of thundershowers and lightning. I thought the storms would die down once the sun had set, but this was only the beginning. Taken on June 23, 2005. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 28mm, ISO 100, f/16.0, 0.4 second exposure.
Jhaz > The Saguaros are Watching A lightning strike during a heavy thundershower silhouettes a number of saguaro cacti near Saguaro National Park west on June 23, 2005. This was near the end of a great day of taking lightning pictures. Numerous thundershowers were active all around me and kept re-forming in the same places, making it easy to take pictures! This storm was the third to form to my west and was the only storm to survive the trip across a broad valley to where I was. This picture was taken from inside a vehicle and it's pure luck that it came out at all. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 28mm, ISO 100, f/10.0, 3 second exposure.
Jhaz > Moonlit Lightning Moisture from an ex-hurricane (Emily) was drawn up into the monsoonal flow of moisture coming out of Mexico and into Arizona. The additional moisture made for an interesting weekend. A number of strong storms formed late in the evening, but they didn't last very long. After chasing one and getting to a good location too late, I almost gave up. At the last minute, I decided I would try this one even though I had been watching it for 30 minutes as a drove back home from the previous storm. I had just set up my camera and this was the second or third picture. Taken just after midnight from Rattlesnake Pass on July 24, 2005. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 65mm, ISO 100, f/4.0, 15 second exposure.
Casa Grande Thundershower Movie

This small five second movie is comprised of 53 frames, each representing 25 seconds of time. It covers 22 minutes in the life of an approaching thundershower. A nearly full moon and plenty of cloud-to-cloud lightning provide the light. Personally, I find it amazing to see the different directions of the clouds at the various levels. The pictures were taken west of Red Rock, Arizona, from 9:30 pm to 9:52 pm on August 19, 2005.

To view this movie, you need to have an MPEG1-capable player like Windows Media Player or Quicktime installed. If you're having problems, double-check that you have the very latest version installed. We do not recommend Real Player, as it seems to be prone to error. If you'd like to save this movie, right-click this link and choose save as. Then you can play it at larger sizes, etc.
