Real as far as I know...

I would LOVE to see one in person.

Do they do storm chasing tours over there?

We get nothing like that here.

(love the new avy);)

They are mainly post processed :thumbup
I believe the guy when he says they haven't been altered much.

Tuffy you need to spend a little time in Tornado Alley and then come back and tell us all about how you manipulated your photo's... that's providing you have the courage to hang around. I lived through one tornado and that was enough to put me to the test never mind taking pictures of the bloody thing.

Maybe some of the southern Ameranski posters here will have something to add.

It is my goal in life to take a picture of a tornado. :nod: The problem is being in the right place at the right time. Being right in the middle of one is not conducive to good pics because at that point one just wants to survive...and your camera would get wet. :p It's better if you can see it coming, take your picture and then run like hell. :D

I live in Louisiana, and we don't get many tornadoes here, but we do get bad storms, and it's real humid here.

Now I wouldn't doubt he altered the hue, but I also don't doubt that most those colors were present in the original image.

I've seen colors that you wouldn't believe. Before a real bad storm the air turns yellow.

Me no likey tornado. I lived very, very, very close to the one that ripped Edmonton apart in July 1987. If you read this story it will mention it's path.

Well... I lived in the Millwods area. It hit the south side of the shopping center that was across the street from us. I've also seen a couple others but not when I had a camera with me. I've seen those rolling clouds just like in the pictures and I've also see other weird formations that scared the bejeebers out of me.

Keep this in mind if you see one. I believe in our part of the world they generally travel from south west to north east. Knowing that could save your life.

So...no one has answered...do they do Storm Chasing tours anywhere?

and did anyone read the original story? He says he did minimal photoshopping to adjust the hues.

I would be proud to call those piccies mine

I was reading it :)

And I don't know about storm chasing, but if you want to just come hunker down during a hurricane feel free to come crash at my house :)
