July 25th 2013, my chase partner and I where speeding down the country roads outside Upperlands looking for places to stop and shoot, we couldn't see any so we just kept driving on, my mate Paul was doing a great job keeping pace with the storm, I put down the passenger window and fired of several 10mm shots to the NW at the storm as trees and hedges whipped past the window, here's one of them showing the core, storm moving L to R, lightning pulsed like a warning light and part of the upper tower and anvil came into view (burnt out) however the dynamic range of light was too much for the camera to handle. I later got an email informing me that around the time this image was taken there were unconfirmed reports of hail stones between 2cm and 3cm falling under the core, read the report for more information. * All images are available for sale in the form of photo prints, canvas or digital files for licensing, if you are interested in a purchase simply drop me an email.
