My luck with tornado photos used to be worse than my luck with tornadoes themselves. Example? Saw (and videotaped) 10 tornadoes in 3 straight chases in 1991, photographing 7 of them -- but one roll of film came back way overexposed; the other, blurred and overexposed. The rolls without tornadoes were fine -- of course. I have more pictures than I care to admit of distant and/or low-contrast tornadoes. There are a few of those here; but during the late 1990s and mid 2000s, my fortunes with photogenic tornadoes finally improved.
