If you like my work, take a look at my main photography prints page: my very best work from over the years, with a formal poster presentation. Lightning, mountains, national parks, supercell storms, and more. Check out my Darkroom store page here connorsipephoto.darkroom.com
This year has been tough for me but my YouTube projects (and the book for that matter) have been getting me through it. I want to say thank you to everyone who watches and stay tuned because there's more stuff on the way that I'm excited about

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

If you're looking for a holiday gift for the storm chaser in your life, might I suggest TORNADO COUNTRY: The History of Oklahoma's Violent Weather, an extensively researched chronology of how science took on nature's fury.

Does anyone remember back in March when Trump tried to throw out USIP by EO but didn't have the authority so he had DOGE buy out the security contractor and send guys into the building to go straight to the armory inside and initiate a lockdown www.asisonline.org/security-man...

At the end of this year I'll have been shooting storms and landscapes for ten years. Throughout December I'll be counting down my 100 favorite photos I've ever taken - supercell storms, lightning, aurora, solar eclipse, national parks, mountains, fall colors, wildlife, and more

Something occurred to me this week that I've been photographing storms and nature for ten years. I'm amazed to look back and see everything I've experienced with my camera in that time. I feel like I should do some special YouTube project to recap my coolest stuff

A couple newer edits from my trip to West Virginia last fall, from Seneca Rocks and the summit of Bear Rocks / Dolly Sods. I've got a video on that in the works

I had a dastardly idea while working on my next photographic weather history video. For UNPREDICTABLE I was able to put together some animated graphics and photoshopped storm images, but for this one there's a couple scenes I envision that I just can't get that way
But I can sketch them 😏

Prime Video replaced their digital copy of Twister with the new 4K restoration version from last year and I think it kinda looks like garbage

Boys and girls, when I tell you that we are gonna be clocking in to the YouTube FACTORY the next few months you best believe it. You are not even ready for these projects I've got coming down the pipe, I am talking about harnessing every creative fiber in my body. Photos related

It's national take a hike day! Other terms for going outside that are also dismissive insults are "get lost" and "go touch grass"

Wednesday night's aurora from northeast Ohio once the clouds finally broke, a consolation prize for missing the big one the night before. At 18mm those were some serious pillars during substorms

I'm seeing lightning signatures pop up on Nexlab GOES kinda evenly distributed around the northeast and mid-Atlantic in areas with clear weather, I wonder if that's an effect of the geomagnetic storm

All those big tough defenders of America with their tear gas and tactical gear had to make sure the guy standing around doing nothing was subdued before they could move in
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

I'm considering some dramatic reading YouTube videos with excerpts from my self-published book, TORNADO COUNTRY: The History of Oklahoma's Violent Weather.
I picture some original music and sound effects but I have no idea if it would attract any viewership.

For Halloween I want to shout out one of my big early influences toward nature photography from when I was a kid, the game Slender: The Arrival. It's a horror game from years ago but I still think about the mountain and forest scenery when I shoot and edit landscapes
