Throughout my whole career as a professional surf photographer and more recently in the high-end world of VIP travel facilitation and adventure photography showing and shooting clients wildest adventures across the globe, I’ve always found the time for chasing storms in between, particularly around my own home on the Sunshine Coast. It’s a rush, you're completely alone and out in the elements witnessing mother nature’s full force. I live for chasing storms. I basically concentrate on a small stretch of coastline where I live smack in the middle of Noosa Heads and Coolum in QLD. Geographically it’s a fantastic place for summer storms as the sub-tropical location is perfect for creating spectacular lightning shows where the warm waters meet cooler southern winds. This night in particular, was a long burn to get this shot. I went out around 6pm and the initial storm dissipated. A secondary storm flared up where I planned this shot around 1am. The time in between that was useless; that’s the hard thing is sticking it out and not packing up. This is one thing that I used to do each day shooting surf, I would leave the beach on dark. You’d be surprised how many people leave and say when did you get that shot! “ahhh while you were on your 3rd Bintang or thereabouts?” The thing is with storm chasing is you can look at lightning trackers and apps but it never replaces local knowledge. I had a feeling the storm would reform and head out to sea up the coast as I’ve watched this happen many times growing up here. Achieving a shot where I can see the stars, storm clouds and foreground is what I’m always after. It just gives storms these perspectives and magical snapshot into what’s happening above and below. The best thing is you never really know what you’re going to get but you can plan to be around the right distance and location to achieve what’s in your brain. Of course, a lot of trips out storm chasing produce nothing apart from empty coffee cups and a sandy truck.
