About This Shoot
Date: 21 May 2017
Location: Northeastern New Mexico
Shoot Type: Storm Chase
Rating:
Synopsis:
Rob, Jay, and I started the day hiking around Capulin Volcano. Later that afternoon we chased and photographed marginally severe storms that developed off the high terrain of northeast New Mexico between Springer and Clayton. Some of the structure was fairly photogenic, including a non-severe storm that briefly had a mothership shape south of Clayton.
