Crazy good man, still so jealous you got that image with no crop. The close up of the Cholla at sunset is unreal as well. Great work
So much goodness packed into one video! This was incredible Michael - thanks for sharing it!
3rd cacti shot --- looks like a dragon in the sky. Tip top vlog; i can see why you are so pleased with the results :)
That’s what I was going to say Duncan it looks like it’s swooping down
I thought of Falcor from Never Ending Story when I saw it! ha
Yes. I saw that. It really stood out.
Absolutely loved the cactus closeup in the foreground with just the clouds. I see a dragon in the clouds.
Absolutely insane photos! That long lens lightning shot is one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences!
I know "The Strike" is a once in a lifetime shot. But still the image I like the best is the stacked cactus image. I like ethereal looking stuff. Looking forward to the next one.
You might now be known as the Lightning Whisperer. What an amazing birthday gift!
Great video, Michael. Fabulous to see your thought processes in composing the shots and the fabulous results.
The fact that we get to watch these vids for free 😍
10:08 and on perfectly captures the raw panic of pulling up AS the bolts are dropping! :)
Boldness rewarded. Very nice shot Michael. Mother Nature's birthday gift moment for you.
Lovely. That cloud looks like a friendly dog looking down on the cactus
Wow, powerful photos! In the third photo with the cati and cloud formation, that cloud looks like a bear face, absolutely incredible! As usual, fantastic work, you are so talented!
Happy birthday, Michael! Great shots. I see a dragon peering down on you in the storm cloud in your picture of the cholla. That last one is a real winner.
You have a knack for storytelling. Epic shot.
Cacti shot at 5.49 looks like dragon ! Great shot !
Michael, what a birthday present!! Blown away!
One killer image after another, Michael. Awesome.
I shoot lightning photography as well and that shot where the lightning strikes the hill top with the observatory in the background is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! That has got to be one of the best lightning photograph I have seen in a long time. Very nicely done.
The cloud looks like a dragon's face looking down at you in your favorite photo with the backlit cactus.
Fantastic lightning strike, Congratulations on an epic image Michael !
Wow - that cloud on 5:33 looks like a dragons head! Nostrils and all. Amazing. Now to see what happens next... :)
Beautiful 🤩 The image with the foreground cactus people and the storm clouds, the cloud looks like a dragon head folding around to look at them ❤️ Happy belated birthday.
If Carlsberg did lightning shots.....
An amazing shot and a fantastic series of videos from you and Nick.
Wonderful images !!!!!! I watched a lightning bolt hit a tree about 300 yards from my camera, and luckily, I captured the event with my camera.
tonight was awesome, thousands of lighnings but no thunder at all
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 nuff said!
wow,you really nailed it. Just amazing to see it!!!
Michael, really awesome shots. Especially your birthday shot. Stay save and all the best for you. 😎👏👏👏
What an incredible birthday present. Fabulous photo and so very happy for you.
I'm Hooked...What energy and beauty in the videos and photos on this trip. Will hate to see it end! HB Michael
Dude that is shot of a life-time - beautiful!!
What a birthday gift. Stunning.
Your channel just keeps getting better.
That is the best lightning shot I have ever seen
Holy moly…stunning shots Michael!! You’re on fire 🔥
Amazing photos. Every day should be your birthday.
Incredible shots man! Fantastic work! I want to go storm chasing now 😄
So so so so so so so good!!!! Wow!!! ⚡️ ⛈ 📸 👍
I wish only one day with you in this beautiful nature catching the lightning 😍😍🤟 Awesome dude 👍
This is the one of the million picture 🔥
I have to say those are the best series of photos from vlog I have ever seen. Wow, what excellent work.
Thank you so much for the kind words Dan!
What a birthday, what a photo.
A Birthday Gift from God...excellent capture
What a great birthday pressie.. Great Shot!!! My fav shot is the group of cactus in the foreground.. just reminds me of Neverending story, the dog dragon coming in
Hauoli La Hanau! (Happy Birthday). Awesome pics and video! Mahalo for sharing with us. Travel safe and take care. Aloha.
That lightening photo is unreal. It's basically the photographic version of exactly what a child would draw in the scene. Stay safe.
I worked as a photojournalist covering breaking news and sports but I’ve got a lot of respect for people who can create beautiful images like this in nature, something I still haven’t learned how to do. Keep up the great work!
Stunning! I'm a relative newb to photography.......but love the lightning strikes. I'm in awe here!
Happy Birthday Michael! Amazing pictures!😀👍
Stunning image! Please share when you print and hang it!!!! A metal print would be killer!
the last image is.... amazing !!! well done !
OMG..🖤🖤🖤congratulations my friend... End of course happy birthday you lucky s... 🌵🌵🤬of my cactus photographer 😄😄😄
You just hit the motherload!! Also that photo where you referred to the cacti looking like small little aliens, to me it also looked like that the stormcloud actually looked like the head of some sort of dragon looking towards the cacti.
Amazing as always Michael. Would you be willing to share your metering mode and overal exposure. As in with the settings you mentioned is the image underexposed? Since I could imagine the scenario where if you properly expose the image without lightning the lightning will just clip out everything around it.
Hoping to hear from you 🙌
Breathtaking scenes
Happy Birthday...wow what a strike! The photo with the car light trails was incredible too...I'd love to see what the ground looks like where that strike hit by the observatory. :)
The way you story tell and show the final images, panning down slowly, timed with music. So engaging.
When you said "this is not the photograph that I was just screaming about, let's go ahead and take a look at that" with the music swelling.. man! The anticipation and excitement before the reveal.
You have a knack for it. I thoroughly enjoy these videos. I find a vast majority of the vlog/photo videos out there so incredibly dry.
Wow wow wow 🤩 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Happy Birthday! What a lucky and awesome present!
Michael!!! WOW just WOW!!!! -- Oh and Happy Birthday!!
The image close to the cactus the cloud looks like a dragons head looking at you….Great video as always..
i love lighting photography, did a couple, also got 1 in N.G calendar :)
amazing images, that lightning shot is mind-blowing.
Jesus, those are some fine shots. At 13.34 the cloud looks to me like the dragon from the NeverEnding Story facing the scene. Truly epic was that lightning shot
I saw the dragon too. Great story shot.
Great shots all - not just the last!
Beautiful set of images man and that lightning shot is soooo good!!!
This is a refreshing new channel. I’m hooked!
Happy birthday Michael
Happy Birthday! I'm so pumped that you guys got to do this trip and share it with us.
Mind 🤯! Exceptional shot Michael
happy bday!!! what an amazing set of photos! absolutely stunning!!
Great video and photos! and the lightning strike is unbelievable! thanks for sharing :)
Wow. That is truly an amazing shot. Congrats sir.
Wowww!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!
Amazing images, well done. What a great experience. 🍾
Incredibly stunning. xxx
Amazing images!!! Your favorite cactus shot of the three, the cloud over the cacti looks like a dogs head with his nose about to smell the cactus. I don't know why I see that. Maybe it's because I do pet photography, lol. Your lighting strike shot is stunning!!! Happy Birthday!!!
Those are the moments you will never forget, no matter what. Congratulations. You got some amazing photos.
Wow Michael, what a birthday pressent. Congratulations! The other images are also great though. Thnx
Congratulations on being Blessed with one of Mothers Nature Greatest Gifts, especially on your birthday Sir!!
❤️❤️❤️ each image awesome.... But that strike is amazing 🤯 many thanks for sharing each part of your journey 💗
Great video. Awesome lightning strike shot.
stunning results !!! ... Great work , Happy Birthday.
Great video! For wide open spaces like deserts and oceans, I think horizontal photos almost always work better than vertical. From the beautiful shots you feature in the video, I surmise that you don't share that bias. And I have to admit those vertical shots really are striking! Pun intended. Thanks.
Stunning stunning stunning
Congratulations and what a great great series of images…enjoyed it!
WOW! Happy birthday indeed!
Happy delay birthday Michael !!!
The best birthday presents are the ones you get for yourself! Terrific!
Happy birthday to you and thanks for such an awesome video! Beautiful shots.
Daaaaaaamnnnnnn
Your excitement with these pictures is so infectious I was grinning the whole time. Just awesome.
Before I've even watched this I have to say that this is the best lightning strike photo I've ever seen, just watched Nick Page's video on it, dude that is amazing, thank you for your inspiration.
An absolutely award wining shot. Right time, right time, right everything. It just goes to show setting up for the shot you want can be rewarded.
Very happy for you! Happy (late) birthday.
These team-up videos are great for learning and nice seeing photographers team-up and sharing knowledge and enduring together the "chase and journey" to catch special photos!👏
very nice shots !!!
thanks for video
The best lighting capture I have ever seen ❤️
Loved all these photos, so beautiful. Can I ask you if you stack Al. Your wide angle shots? If not where do you focus on? Thanks for sharing
