Our programs cover:
We will be working towards shooting massive storm cells, lightning, rainbows, sunsets and the Milky Way. We may be able to shoot landspouts and haboobs if the opportunity presents itself. You may also have a chance to photograph elusive sprites, red cold plasma lightning above the cumulus storm clouds. Each day and night will bring a new adventure, fantastic photos and stories that last a lifetime.
We will capture old west windmills, ranches, barns, mountain ranges, fertile valleys, saguaro, Barrel, and the prickly pear cactus as dramatic storm clouds roll into the scene and explode with beautiful lightning. These are key features of the southern Arizona high desert.
We look forward to having you join us.
