This Tour Will Really Blow You Away

If you’ve ever been mesmerized by a photo of a tornado’s black funnel cloud sweeping along the ground, Tempest Tour’s ‘High Plains Photo Tour’ is right up your tornado alley (pun intended).

This special nine day tour, departing from Denver, Colorado on June 20, has been designed for those who want to learn storm photography. Led by a “chase team“ of published photographers, the tour will pursue towering supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes. It will also emphasize lightning photography, which is an art and skill in itself.

"Our staff posses years of experience photographing storms," said Martin Lisius, Tempest Tours president.  "We decided it was time to share that experience with our guests and to teach them the nuances of shooting beautiful storm photos. There's probably no place better to shoot storms than on the High Plains, where the air is clear and largely free of haze. Some of the shots we get up there are simply ethereal.”
