= Storm Chases & Shoots of October 2016 =



Location: Ford County SFL, Kansas

Shoot type: Wildlife
# of images: 3		Synopsis: I took the new camera gear I had just recently purchased out for a test shoot this afternoon. Even though the birding was slow, I came across a few cooperative juncos as test subjects and a distant female Northern Harrier. I was quite pleased with the performance of the high-ISO capabilities of the D500 on its first outing.




Location: South central Kansas, around the Wichita area

Shoot type: Storm Chase
# of images: 1		Synopsis: This was my one fall storm chase of 2016. I first chased some early afternoon storms up along I-70, but never did any photography of those storms. I then blasted down to the south to intercept storms on the dryline in south central Kansas. One of the dryline storms formed into a supercell just west of Wichita. I was only able to get ahead of the storm for photography when the storm was west-southwest of Maize.
