Storm Chaser: In Pursuit of Untamed Skies

The very best book on storm photography! If you like the idea of storm chasing as a carrer, than this book is for you! I plan to become a storm photographer after I finish college. Hands down, Warren Faidley is one heck of a photo jurnalist!

Awesome photography, great stories. A good look at extreme weather from both sides of the camera. He makes you feel like you're right there with him. My hair is still standing on end.My favorite account turned out to be, not one associated with tornadoes, but with lightning. I've never before had such appreciation for the power of lightning. That's not to diminish the effect of his stories about tornado chasing. They're all exhilarating and humbling.

A fantastic read even for storm novices. Faidley makes the terms he uses easy to understand. His explaination and motivation for begining his weather photography makes the rest of the book enjoyable. The photography is amazing.

From the moment you start reading you are bound to continue. Very intense descriptions of chases. This is a MUST for anyone with even the slightest interest in severe weather. I'd rate it the stormchasing book of the century!

I read this book back in 96 when it came out. I absolutely loved the book. I loved the color photos and the stories he shares. Oh and did anybody even mention the lightning strike? The one near the tank farm. He gives excellent detail on how he got the closest lighting shot ever recorded on film. From the spider bite to the wall climbing to get to the spot he took the picture. I recommend this book to anybody who is fasinated with severe weather and all of it's inner beauty. But also don't forget the beautiful calm pictures of nature also, i.e, rainbows, sunsets, and plain old clouds. They all have their place in the atmosphere.
