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!
Sometimes the desert requires a blood sacrifice. Glad to see you made it pay.
The slow mo on the cactus jab - I'm dying. 🤣 The photo is beautiful though. They all are.
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.
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 :)
Great vid, Nick. The cactus swipe was priceless. Still laughing.
Old school - B&W definitely! The two of you make a good combo for photography blog and video.
Bucket list shot for sure. Pure magic.
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!
That black and white version… wauw 👌🏼
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!
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.
Color for sure! What an incredible shot! :D
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 sorry for your pain that was best laugh of the day. Great shots.
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.
Stunning photos Nick. You guys must be happy with the results.
I about fell out of my chair laughing at the mad dash moment. Too funny man too funny.
I much prefer color in storm photography. Great shots! Happy birthday Michael!
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.
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.
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
MEDIC UP!!!! Nick's been hit. LOL on your coverage of the assault. 😆
Nick, I prefer ALL of them. Fantastic.
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.
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 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.
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.
Where are you guys? I’m in Tennessee and the pre-hurricane clouds are…HUGE! Just amazing! I work tomorrow, but Tuesday I’m heading to Clarksdale; MS. Morgan Freeman is a half owner of a blues club there, Ground Zero Blues Club. Downtown is incredible, a bit further down the road is The Blue Front, the oldest Juke still in operation…Mr. Jimmy “Duck” Holmes is the proprietor and a fine old blues man, to be for sure ;-) , I believe he nabbed him a Grammy this year…anyway, this storm is off the chain and should be will be something to see! The Mississippi Delta is quite flat, so you’ll be able to watch this thing for miles and miles!
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!
Jealous! These are outstanding! This is my bucket list
I love watching you work and seeing the results.
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!
I think the colour version just edges out the B & W. Incredible shot!
Another astonishing video and that strike shot. Just unbelievable. Love the black and white version myself
I love the music. Not often you hear RUclips video music in 5/4 time. Nice nice touch with fractal lightning.
My Gaaaawwd! Epic is right!!! Wowza!!!
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.
Awesome video, Michael won the lightning sweepstakes, but your images were pretty sweet as well!
WOW, all the images are magic and powerful. Colour v BW - Colour for me. Thanks for sharing!
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.
Enjoyed this video very much! Great shots Nick and wow what a birthday present for Michael!
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 🇦🇺
Congratulations to all of you guys..... Lucky s😡🖤🖤I love it well done👏👏👏. B W for me!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Amazing video. I prefer the black & white; it intensifies the lightning. Beautiful!
that looked like it must of hurt lots ! just your facial expressions revealed it all LOL!!!!!
Image @6:40 was my favorite.
Nick: It's been incredibly hot.
Hudson: Yeah man, but it's a dry heat!
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."
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!
b&W is the winner!
WOW. Just....WOW!!!
Awesome shots Nick. Black and white for me!
Wow, I'm gobsmacked.
Oh man Epic is right some beautiful shots ! we rarely get lighting like that in ireland !! (happy birthday to Michael)
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.
Fantastic video! Happy Birthday to Michael. The color photo is my favorite, so much emotion.
What can I say?.....WOW!! Wonderful photos boys thank you. Although I like the Black & White , I think I have to go with the blue image. I would have been happy to take any one of those shots! Take care and be safe, mind the rattlers and spikes!! Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧📷📷
Which do I prefer? Both. For different reasons. Color is an amazing photograph. B&W is fantastic art.
Most definitely the color shot. Great video!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an excellent video. Funny, informative and awsome pics. I would choose the color.
The contrast in the mono draws my eye to it over the color but they are both awesome.
No words, just awesome.
Wow! What a trip this has been so far!
Utterly incredible images and another fascinating video Nick (& Michael B). I prefer the colour image.
Such a powerful phenomena! Great work.
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 👍⚡️
I prefer the color version. Incredible as always. Nice
Spectacular. I prefer the colour shot 🤘🏻
This spot in Saguaro NP is great, I visited years ago.
Your pics are even greater!
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!
Stunning shots! Love the music choice as well.
Great vlog and wow what a shot from Michael - Thanks for sharing Nick
The "mad dash" action replay had me in stitches!!
Very cool images and video. 👍🏻 I like the color shot of lightning hitting the mountain.
Am lost for words 👍👍 great job lads
Fantastic video. Amazing results. Thanks for for the inspiration and insight. I'm green with envy.
I Love your adventures! Photographing the world with your buds who are almost as talented as you. LOL! I prefer the B/W bolt myself. Great image either way. Safe travels!
Well that's very goooood 👍😎
Dang. Love that image.
What a professional nick not swearing when you were attacked by the cactus 😂
Awesome shots Nick! 🙌
The color photo of the lightening is my favorite of the two - All of the shots are incredible-- Well done
Epic. Truly epic.
Amazing footage…so incredible!
Fantastic photos! I would choose the b&w version of the flash photo 👍🏻
Hi Nick, This was a great photographic and human voyage you brought us along with, everything from blood letting for video & photography to birthday presents from the Gods. Really awesome photographs, and while I enjoy the color pic because there is more detail, contrast and story the B&W could be more incredible with some magic. Really nice creativity on the go, please keep up the awesome art work. VZ
Hahaha mad dash! Love the images.
OMG!! AMAZING photos and video! What a rush all of that must been, (not the cactus stick or the mad dashing~~haha), but the rest! So cool ⚡️
They were some awesome shots. Well done.
Your video was not a mess at all, Nick! the images you got were incredible. I especially liked the comp of the strike with the cacti at about 6:30. But then to get the huge strike at the observatory was a shot of a lifetime. So many branches on the bolt and how the ground just lit up. I wonder if you saw any wildfires started with lightning on your trip?? You sure got some good results and so glad you made the trip. sorry about the heat. Thanks for doing videos of several days of your trip. It was good to see the ups and downs of following the storms.
Amazing shots! I like the color version best of the vertical bolt. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Great job, you two!
Very impressive shots. I prefer the color version. Stay safe😎👏👏👏
That was epic alright!
I stand in pure awe with those bolts near the observatory!! What a joy to see this!!
awesome images great video. I like the colour version. Thank you for sharing the journey of chasing the monsoons don't have those storms.
Have loved this series of videos in AZ - awesome job!
Nick! Awesome.
What awesome images and adventure. Of the two I prefer the colour version. The black and white, however, is fantastic too. It's just that I am a colour junkie.
