Storm chaser - Warren Faidley

How does it feel to realise that a tornado is forming directly over-head? What is it like to be knocked to the ground by a powerful lightning bolt and still capture one of the closest lightning strikes ever recorded on film? While most people avoid dangerous storms, who would spend his life trying to get as close to them as possible? In Storm Chaser, Warren Faidley, a professional storm chaser and award-winning photojournalist, shares a vivid and personal account of confronting some of our planet's most violent weather. Through dramatic photographs, he takes us into the paths of some of nature's greatest atmospheric phenomena. Included are great tips on photographing severe weather, an exploration of the 500-term storm chasing vocabulary, and explanations of the meteorology involved. Few of us will experience the thrill and the fear of coming face-to-face with these spectacles, but with Storm Chaser, we can -- and from the safety of our own homes.
