The lightning bolt hitting the mountain was a lucky strike for sure! Really spectacular. I guess it's fair to call it "the birthday shot."
So good Nick, I really loved your images from this day. Also fun fact for your audience, this was Nick later that evening. "Oh man I just didn't film anything, I don't think I have enough for a video!" *Comes out with epic almost 20-minute video* L O L
Happy (belated) Birthday mate, looking forward to your vlog tomorrow to see how good your 'birthday present' photo looks
@@wildaustraliaphotography-m2099 Hey there Michael, thanks so much! I actually put out my video yesterday too :)
Very cool shot of the lightning hitting the mountain next to R2D2. 👍🏻😎 Happy Birthday!
OMG - The Mad Dash instant replay was hilarious! Props to you for not cussing. Every bad word in the book would have come out of my mouth had that happen to me :)
I love coming back to these. I’ve watched it several times and it makes me want to keep continuing the chase myself.
Cheers Nick!
Nice collaboration…photo nerds unite. We can take over the world!!!!
If forced to choose between color and B&W version, I’d pick the color. The dark blue of the sky and the bright yellow/white of the bolt is beautiful. Great photos, all of them.
Old school - B&W definitely! The two of you make a good combo for photography blog and video.
The slow mo on the cactus jab - I'm dying. 🤣 The photo is beautiful though. They all are.
I stand in pure awe with those bolts near the observatory!! What a joy to see this!!
Couldn’t keep myself from laughing at the “mad dash”. Sorry for your pain.
Fun, beautiful video. REALLY liked your shot looking toward town with the single bolt and great sky. And Michael’s observatory shot was incredible. Stay safe you crazy guys!
Fantastic! That big bolt shot is the proverbial ‘mic drop’ shot. Awesome video. Love knowing we all have the same ‘shoot & dash’ for storms. 👍
Nick, I live in Phoenix and chase on my days off. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with locations and compositions when shooting the storms. I literally almost walked away from photography this year until I realized that everyone has the same challenges and that I'm not doing something wrong. Thank you for making your videos and keeping me in the game.
Great vid, Nick. The cactus swipe was priceless. Still laughing.
Stunning photos Nick. You guys must be happy with the results.
I much prefer color in storm photography. Great shots! Happy birthday Michael!
That black and white version… wauw 👌🏼
I feel like crying. The photos are just amazing and wonderful.
By the way, I liked the one with the colder toned photo of the lighting bolt
So hooked on the photos of this trip. Such energy in the videos, will be a let down when this trip ends. HB to Michael!
Nick sorry for your pain that was best laugh of the day. Great shots.
This channel has consistently had OUTSTANDING images that I will never be able to equal. I do NOT hate you for that, yeah, there's envy but that's it..... I prefer the b&w version of Michael's hail Mary bolt. It just seems to have more impact to me... Favorite image of today.... the first shot with the cactus and the sunset in the background. Outrageous color, tones, lighting. You beast Nick.... damn.
I am gobsmacked. (Is that even a word?) I don't care. I'm still gobsmacked Nick. Brilliant photography. Both you and Michael just knocked it out of the park that day. Both most definitely have enlarged your portfolios with that trip! Congratulations for some truly epic shots.
Enjoyed this video very much! Great shots Nick and wow what a birthday present for Michael!
Another astonishing video and that strike shot. Just unbelievable. Love the black and white version myself
I think the colour version just edges out the B & W. Incredible shot!
Bucket list shot for sure. Pure magic.
Nick, that "mad dash" was an epic, Gavin Hardcastle moment if I've ever seen one... It's really great to see you creating and sharing work again!
Nick.....OUCH "It looked like the cactus bite hurt just a little bit!", but I do want to say thank you for sharing such an amazing video series the past few weeks with everyone. You are such a gifted and talented person (as well as those you surround yourself with in your video's), and your enthusiasm of photography is truly reflected on screen as well.
The Black and White is the belter choice to me personally because of the dramatics involved within the composition.
Color for sure! What an incredible shot! :D
Fantastic video! Happy Birthday to Michael. The color photo is my favorite, so much emotion.
Nick, I prefer ALL of them. Fantastic.
WOW, all the images are magic and powerful. Colour v BW - Colour for me. Thanks for sharing!
Utterly incredible images and another fascinating video Nick (& Michael B). I prefer the colour image.
Nick, I love your work and love watching your videos but that shot of Michael Shainblum is amazing, a once in a lifetime shot, wow..
This is what inspires me to go out there and do photography, I'm not on your level but I love what I do and have had a lot of people say my photos are really good so thank you for your inspiration.
Your first video I watched was six years ago, with your astrophotography video. I thought it was so amazing then, but didn’t watch UA-cam for many years after that year. I just got back into it two years ago, when I started my channel. I stumbled across you again, and my goodness how many more subscribers you have gotten since all those years ago! Congratulations! Your photos are amazing, as well as the time lapses! Great, job!
Nice! Michael's reaction when he got the shot was priceless. I can so relate to him there, we get that when we get a killer aurora shot. Nick, now you have me wanting to chase lightening.
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 color photo of the lightening is my favorite of the two - All of the shots are incredible-- Well done
I love the music. Not often you hear UA-cam video music in 5/4 time. Nice nice touch with fractal lightning.
Jealous! These are outstanding! This is my bucket list
Congratulations to all of you guys..... Lucky s😡🖤🖤I love it well done👏👏👏. B W for me!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Awesome video, Michael won the lightning sweepstakes, but your images were pretty sweet as well!
Epic strike indeed Nick, definitely prefer the colour version.
Yet again, another amazing vlog with stunning images.
Glad you only tangled with a cactus, the reptiles are not friendly.
Stay safe Nick 🇦🇺
bwahahha.. the mad dash footage had me actually laughing out loud.. hilarious.. Love the rest of it as well - the last lightening shot was epic - I was there a few years ago but not during monsoon season. I knew exactly where you were. Anyway, just had to say that first bit was hilarious!
MEDIC UP!!!! Nick's been hit. LOL on your coverage of the assault. 😆
Amazing video. I prefer the black & white; it intensifies the lightning. Beautiful!
That lead in scene to start the vid… nice work 👍🏻
Absolutely breathtaking photos and time lapse footage Nick. Some of the best I’ve seen. The first image gave me goosebumps, just wow. What an experience it must have been for you all to witness such beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Oh man Epic is right some beautiful shots ! we rarely get lighting like that in ireland !! (happy birthday to Michael)
Have loved this series of videos in AZ - awesome job!
WOW. Just....WOW!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an excellent video. Funny, informative and awsome pics. I would choose the color.
Hitting that teddy bear cholla with your finger…I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Also that beauty of a shot was worth that cactus biting your finger haha. Those lightning shots are insane!
Awesome shots Nick. Black and white for me!
As always amazing!
Most definitely the color shot. Great video!
EPIC!!! 🌩
b&W is the winner!
All the images were great, but Michael's color image of the lightning on Kitt Peak was spectacular.
That’s because I suck at photography
I am jealous of some of Nick's epic shots from this video, some angles and perspectives I either missed or just didn't see. 6:49 and then the following lightning strike. In the last one, I was super envious of his supercell wide shot with the rainbow and lightning.
Such a powerful phenomena! Great work.
AMAZING !!
Absolutely amazing images. Appreciate all you do.
Ah! Amazing work as always.
Stunning shots! Love the music choice as well.
Image @6:40 was my favorite.
Nick: It's been incredibly hot.
Hudson: Yeah man, but it's a dry heat!
Well that was really something. When choosing between pictures I often think "Which one would I put on my wall". Then which wall does matter. So for a big spacious wall I would go for color, but for a smaller prints on a smaller wall I would probably go for the black and white. But the black and white really draws attention to the lightning it self and so it stands out even better.
Epic in every way! 😍😍😍
Great vlog and wow what a shot from Michael - Thanks for sharing Nick
I love watching you work and seeing the results.
Wow, I'm gobsmacked.
The "mad dash" action replay had me in stitches!!
Epic. Truly epic.
I about fell out of my chair laughing at the mad dash moment. Too funny man too funny.
My Gaaaawwd! Epic is right!!! Wowza!!!
Spectacular. I prefer the colour shot 🤘🏻
Wow! What a trip this has been so far!
WOW!!! Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!! These images are AMAZING!!!
Another awesome video, a total inspiration
I dont mean to laugh at your pain but the more you replayed that stab the harder I laughed I was in tears and almost wet myself good thing you stopped when you did..lol.
Amazing shots! As usual.
I preferred the blue or colored lightening bolt shot.
Well that's very goooood 👍😎
Absolutely beautiful work!
Remarkable! Congratulations to both of you on epic images.
No words, just awesome.
Great job, you two!
Color is definitely my favorite. I love how the dark blue tones create so much contrast with the blinding bolt of lightning!
Amazing lightnings!!
Nick! Awesome.
Dang. Love that image.
Very cool images and video. 👍🏻 I like the color shot of lightning hitting the mountain.
If forced to choose I opt for the cactus foreground with the single bolt of lightening as the photo that most appeals to me. Honestly, all of the shots are fantastic.
Outstanding lightning shots
They were some awesome shots. Well done.
Loved sharing all the excitement from yourself and Michael, photos were magnificent and so inspiring
Amazing footage…so incredible!
Awesome Nick, what an adventure you guys are having, thanks for taking us on this epic journey.
I prefer the color version. Incredible as always. Nice
Which do I prefer? Both. For different reasons. Color is an amazing photograph. B&W is fantastic art.
Fantastic video. Amazing results. Thanks for for the inspiration and insight. I'm green with envy.
Brilliant, what an epic shot Michael got, a very lucky birthday boy. Colour image IMO but both stunning 👍
I probably didn’t make it very clear in the video, but the image that showed at the end was mine!
@@NickPage I did gather that Nick and superb it was too 👍⚡️
That was epic alright!
Amazing work as always Nick! Loved following along on this storm chasing series
