Dernière journée de chasse à l'orage sur le térritoire américain.

Cette cellule très active nous occupera toute l'après midi (grêle de la taille d'une boule de billard)...
En fin de course (soirée) elle donnera une alerte tornade sans aboutir...

Après s'être embourbé nous réussirons à regagner l'autoroute pour prendre l'avion à Denver (Colorado) au petit matin!

Au final 11 Etats parcourus (12000km) en 17jours!

Canon 350D 17mm F4 1/60sec iso100 recadrage en hauteur 18h46
Post traitement modéré sur les couleurs

A bientôt

Hi Vincent, WOW, the power in those clouds just ooz out, the light is wonderful & superb depth from the perfect POV, this is a brilliantly composed photo, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Looks like a scene from a 'Men in Black' film or some National Geographic 'Storm Chaser' type documentary!

It's a superb shot and you must have been quite concerned at such a storm on your tail?

All said, a wonderful photo and incredibly hard to predict - so very well done. Paul.

Wow- impressive shot. It has really scary atmosphere. This clouds over car looks really sinister. Good shot - my congratulations! Andrzej

Great shot. You realy managed to create a very stormy feeling in the shot. TFS

Bonsoir Vincent,
Très belle photo, très bon choix de focale courte qui donne une impression de prise de vue basse, d'où une perspective vraiment esthétique. Le sujet est idéalement placé et la lumière est très belle. Quelques détails attirent particulièrement l'oeil comme ces pylones surexposés sur le bord de la route. C'est ce genre de détail qui fait toute la différence selon moi.
Très beau travail, j'aime beaucoup
Thomas

What a perfect POV. This could be the advertising shot for a movie. It seems to convey an untold story. Well done.

Bonjour Vincent,
Wow....and excellent image which has a surreal look to it.....the old Cadillac riding down a dusty road trying desperately to get ahead of the approaching storm. Good lighting,colours and clarity, and overall a very well managed shot.
Cheers Grant

Hi Vincent,
This is a strong and powerful picture full with drama in a very dynamic setting. Like your low pov which gave you a very good perspective along the road. That sky is really impressive and although i see some pp work, i like the final output a lot...very good work..!!!
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Hello Vincent.
Wow! What an awesome scene. Wonderful light and POV. Great colour. Good long crop. Very dramatic. I'd love to see some of this same series without the car just as a pure landscape, although the car adds a sense of urgency to the scene. Very beautiful.
Best regards, Steve.

Hi Vincent,
I like your low POV here, and also the dramatic atmopshere that your captured. An excellent job.
I do not like all the info on the frame.. maybe just your name or photo title.

Hi Vincent.
Marvellous, dramatic photo. Great composition with the road vanishing away in the distance on the right, and the car looming up on the left. Awesome thunder sky and brilliant light bursting through underneath. Fantastic crop, great colour. Just a super photo, which reminds me of some old movie, or perhaps a record cover. Tremendous.
Regards,
Andrew

Salut Vincent! You escaped again :) bringing home this powerful shot. I would run for my life probably but you seem to need a little thrill. I already had a strange feeling when I saw the tornado shelters at Denver Intl. Airport or sleeping in my tent with a bad thunderstorm above me ... I really love to see (from a safe distance of course) what is brewing together back there and I find the old car on the dirt road gives a film-like set-up to your scene. Cool stuff ... une bonne soirée de Zurich, Barbara.

Hi Vincent!
What a great POV!!!
You had a good timing to catch the car at this position and the image has an amazing depth.Good light at the road and the landscape and wonderful contrast with this dramatic sky.
Regards,Leo

Salut Vincent,
Trés cinematographique tout ça!du David Lynch...ça pue l'amerique profonde(c'est pas pejoratif pour moi)la texture du ciel est geniale...
Pas trop le temps maintenant mais je reviendrais sur ta galerie qui m'a l'air pleine de belles choses...
a+
vincent

great one...but you already know this ...
fantastic atmosphere, i love how you frame it
well done
regards,anes

Bonsoir Vincent,
Je la trouve extra cette image, d'abord pour le superbe contraste de lumiere bien sur, la perspective aussi mais avec cette voiture je m'attends vraiment a voir sortir David Vincent egare sur une route qui ne mene nulle part et qui va faire de bien curieuses rencontres, bravo !
Bon dimanche JY

Hi Vincent!
That’s exactly the cliché picture I have in my mind about the Middle West: Endless plains with cornfields and big fat cars cruising thorough. Very nice shot, with beautiful colours and a fantastic cloudy sky.
Regards
Andreas

I like this picture. Very "on the road" mood. Colors are very beautiful too, as well as the POV.

Quelle ambiance !! On se croirait dans un film !
C'est top, très bien composé avec la voiture, la profondeur et ce ciel menaçant. J'aurais presque essayé du N&B pour voir...
