☁️⛈⚡️Storms moved through quickly last night! I rushed out the door after having dinner with the wife and headed south to get ahead of the storm. I am definitely lucky to have such a supportive wife for my storm chasing addiction. I got down to Sarasota just in time to get my cameras setup before the lightning hammers were thrown. The thunder was so heavy on these bolts it shook my camera and made it move downward just slightly. I also scored some more professional video which I am working on shooting more of this year. Thanks everyone for your support and for resharing and commenting on all of my previous posts! 🙌 _________ @canonusa 5DM4 Canon EF24-105mm F/4L IS II USM _________ 75mm | f/11 | ISO 100 | 15 seconds _________ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #longexposure #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #canonfanphoto #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo

☁️⛈⚡️I’m usually known for big crispy bolts which are one of my favorite things to photograph but I am also a huge fan of cool clouds and structure. We definitely don’t get structures here like the midwest United States does but we get some really different and interesting ones here because the storms pop up and drop here so quickly. This is a crazy structure dropping a bolt through its core. As some may notice, there is also a shelf cloud forming at the bottom. _________ @canonusa EOS R Canon EF24-105mm F/4L IS II USM _________ 56mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | .6 seconds _________ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #longexposure #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #canonfanphoto #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo

⛵️🛥⚡️Storms out in the Gulf of Mexico popping out a nice big bolt behind Marina Jack: Sarasota Bayfront! These storms flashed a lot and got fairly intense before throwing any decent bolts out of the side. It was so nice out! After weeks of west flow, heavy humidity and non-stop rain it was awesome to have some sea breeze thunderstorms in the area shooting out clear air bolts! I really appreciate all of you for sharing and commenting on my photos recently! I am so thankful for all of the support you all have given me through the years. 🙌 _________ @canonusa EOS R Canon EF70-200mm F/2.8L IS III USM _________ 200mm | f/10 | ISO 400 | 30seconds _________ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #longexposure #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #canonfanphoto #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo

😮⚡️🌉 These bolts jumped out of a storm that popped up quick last night! The water was so calm. This west flow pattern has really been keeping the night bolts away but it seemed to have eased up just enough last night to let some tall storms build! I really appreciate all of you for sharing my photos recently! I am so thankful for all of the support you all have given me through the years. 🙌 I also just want to throw a special thanks to The Camera Cure in St Pete for fixing my Canon 5DM4! Mark is awesome and somehow brought my camera back from the dead! _________ @canonusa EOS R Canon EF16-35mm F/2.8L III USM _________ 16mm | f/8 | ISO 400 | 30seconds _________ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #longexposure #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #canonfanphoto #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo

A rain wrapped lightning bolt at the Skyway Bride in the Tampa Bay. You may have noticed me shooting this a lot lately but I really dig shooting Iconic locations with lightning in them. This is what chasing lightning is all about though! Tag someone you know who has driven or drives over this bridge. ————- #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #realflorida #lightningstorm #cloudsofinstagram #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #sunset #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #sunsetlover #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #tampaflorida

BOOM! The power plant taking a DIRECT hit! This is the final image my camera took before it got destroyed by the fall from the 50mph + gust of wind and then soaked by rain. It's weather sealed but not when the card slot pops open 🤦‍♂️ I just want to give a big thanks to everyone who has supported me so far through this crappy camera situation 🙌🙏🙌 I still need a lot more support if possible! If you were thinking about getting a print from me now is the time as it would help me get a new camera body.

😍☁️🌴The Mammatus Clouds last night were incredible on Anna Maria Island right at sunset! Mammatus are usually a sign of severe weather. I was standing there telling a small crowd of people how the storm heading towards us might be severe when I noticed these. I always greatly appreciate the shares or tagging some others who may enjoy it! 🙌👊 _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF24-105mm F/4L IS II USM _________ 24mm | f/4 | ISO 400 | 1/25 _________ ~ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #sunset #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #view #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpom

😍🌉⚡️ The Skyway Bridge in the Tampa Bay last night! I've been wanting another nice crispy Skyway bolt for a few years and finally snagged a new one. The for a few days I just sat out there for hours on end waiting for just the right moment. _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF24-105mm F/4L IS II USM _________ 35mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 13secs _________ ~ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #sunset #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #view #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo

A storm spitting beautiful bolts over the Tampa Bay! Some insane sky colors from light pollution. Last night is the kind of night I live for. I captured a lot of shots as epic storms were around and bolts were being thrown in all directions. _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF16-35mm F/2.8L IIl USM _________ 35mm | f/8 | ISO 400 | 30secs _________ ~ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #sunset #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #view #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo

Crepuscular Rays (sun rays) coming through a storm during sunset in Sarasota, Florida. It’s so beautiful when the sun backlights a thunderstorm in the summertime! 😍⛈ _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF16-35mm F/2.8L IIl USM _________ 16mm | f/11 | ISO 100 | 250 secs _________ ~ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #realflorida #lightningstorm #cloudsofinstagram #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #sunset #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #sunsetlover #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #sarasotaflorida #viewmysunset

Storms coming into the Tampa bay behind the Rod & Reel Pier on the north end of Anna Maria Island, Florida. The storm produced and epic shelf cloud but right as it got close the wind and rain started to blast me. _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF16-35mm F/2.8L IIl USM _________ 16mm | f/8 | ISO 400 | 15 secs _________ ~ ~ #theworldshotz #staysaltyflorida #shotzdelight #earthfocus #roamflorida #florida_greatshots #amazing_longexpo #sky_brilliance #earth_shotz #upsideofflorida #cleargram #longexpo_addiction #sky_marvels #igworld_global #night_shooterz #shotzdelight #landscape_lovers #Explorida #canonus #LoveFL #ig_shotz #cloudzdelight #canonusa #stormchasing #earthfocus #amazing_shots #teamcanon #tempestchasers

⚡️A nice big crispy bolt hammering down on Punta Gorda, Florida while illuminating a heavy rain shaft! This night was filled with intense Seabreeze thunderstorms! I made it there just in time before the heavy rain moved in. _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF16-35mm F/2.8L III USM _________ 16mm | f/11 | ISO 800 | 30 seconds _________ ~ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #strikefinderphoto #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #clouds #roamflorida #cloud_porn #florida_greatshots #canonfanphoto #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #hashtagflorida
