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 else I could do is spend 25 days in December counting down my 100 best/favorite photos four at a time, spanning 2016 to 2025. Big storms, lightning, national parks, volcanoes, aurora, solar eclipse, mountains, fall colors, waterfalls, sunsets, rainbows, and even 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 😏

This dude has to be in prison for high crimes before the 250th in July. It can't not happen, America cannot allow this to be its legacy

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"

The channel is for aurora now

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

Man, this part-time job I landed turned out to be really really part-time. On a related note, all these photos and more are available as prints in the 2025 Collection on my Pixels/FAA page here: 3-connor-sipe.pixels.com/collections/...

Some fall colors managing to pop at Goddard State Park in western PA back on October 26 into the evening

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.

In fact, these photos were all instances where I remember being reminded of the game in the moment. I love those opportunities where you have a mood or aesthetic in mind and you're able to find it in real life

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

My spookiest photos, I'm on Halloween until December 5 at least

I've started writing the follow-up video to UNPREDICTABLE: The Pennsylvania Tornadoes of 1985, on a related local weather history subject. I want to give it as much effort as the first one, including expanding on the original musical score, digital recreations, and the works

I’ve got another weather history video I want to make in the near future. Here are some indecipherable hints about what the topic would be

Caught some moody, rainy fall scenes I was hoping for around Cook Forest State Park along the Clarion River in northwest PA yesterday. The foliage was really chaotic and strange with some trees still green and many others already bare but I think it still looked great
