Departing for Chase Trip #1: First stop — New Mexico
As mentioned in the previous blog post, I will be heading to New Mexico this morning. The plan is to photograph showers/isolated thunderstorm rolling off the southern Sangre de Cristos with the emphasis on “golden hour” light/colors of landscape and convective elements in the sky. Target is Las Vegas, NM by early to mid afternoon for lunch, then following the good light, color, landscape and sky after that! Probably ending up around Santa Rosa or thereabouts by early evening.
Coming up:
Sunday is a down day and I will drive east into West Texas… staying in either Lubbock or Abilene. Monday appers to be a chase day as there are decent signals for an isolated chaseable storm at the nose of the hot air ahead of an advancing cold front along the I-20 corridor in North Texas. Tuesday and Wednesday look like down days, too, and I may do some sightseeing/landscape photography… but not sure where yet. The pattern becomes active again by Thursday.
