This is part 3 of my March trip to Ely for fishing and photography. Unfortunately neither the fishing or photography was very good on the lake. I hope my video provides a glance into early spring in northeastern Minnesota.📷⬇️

On March 28 shortly after dark, storms in the east metro initiated as fast as I've seen. I made it out to capture the epic lightning show with many cloud-to-ground strikes near Cottage Grove and Woodbury. Watch it here! ⬇️⚡️#mnwx

Sometimes it pays to be lucky, like the perfect moon alignment I shot for the March full moon.

Northern Minnesota on 3.21.

Join along on my newest adventure out under the stars shooting star trails. A great way to shoot astrophotography in the city, during a bright moon, and to fill in gaps between aurora shows!📷🎞️⬇️

I had a fun little 30 minute storm chase close to home last night and nailed a shot I've been wanting to get for a long time!

Nice! I got just crazy lighting formations. So fun for a 30 minute chase, 5 minutes from home.

This was a composition five years in the making with these two barns! I captured a few lightning shots so a good start to the storm season here in the Twin Cities. #mnwx

I missed the lunar eclipse overnight, but created my own eclipse with a water tower this morning as the March Worm full moon set.
