MITCH DOBROWNER: Probably going to have to get out of
here because the lightning's in.
[LIGHTNING AND THUNDER]
Oh!
Yeah, that was nice.
The world is a beautiful place.
I don't feel that I need to manipulate anything to show
what it's really like.
And when you're photographing Mother Nature there's nothing
fake about it.
Storms are so intriguing to me because
each one is so different.
Before I went chasing for the first time, I looked at Google
images and just did storms, super cells, mother ships,
things like that.
I got an idea of what other people had seen out there,
things like mesocyclones, the shelf clouds,
there's wall clouds.
There's so much that I learned about meteorology.
The challenge is you don't know what's going to happen.
You just have to be ready for whatever is going to be shown
to you at that moment.
MALE SPEAKER: It's a beautiful super cell.
Very, very strong storm.
We don't want to miss anything this thing has to offer.
MITCH DOBROWNER: I think, after a lot of preparation,
that there are times when Mother Nature just finally
cuts me a break.
It's just starting to change.
Look at the wall dropping.
Look at the plates now on top.
That's close enough.
My job is to get to the right place at the right time, and
then let nature show itself.
I know it's hard to see what's in front of you sometimes as
something that could be special, but it'll never be
like this ever again.
It'll never be exactly like this, this kind of storm, in
this field, that looks this way, ever again.
If I can do justice to the moment, that's kind of a nice
goal for me, just to do justice to the moment.
