The recording of the presentation from Mike Mezeul II titled “Extreme Weather Photography” given to the Focus Camera Club on September 10, 2025.
Program Description
In his “The Beauty of Tornado Alley” presentation, Mike discussed the hidden beauty within the incredible storms that most people hide from in Tornado Alley. Over the past 25 years, Mike has spent every spring documenting these storms and he will be showing everyone that there is much more going on in the sky than what we think.
Here is a link to The Chase – the video Mike made with Nikon that he mentions toward the end of his presentation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6IbuFPd4N4
