Stunning fish "tornado" photo, If you’re anything like me, complaining about the weather is one of your favourite past-times. It is as much a part of British culture as queuing and fish and chips. However, after seeing these images from American Photographer Mitch Dobrowner, you might want to think twice before bemoaning a light drizzle.
Shot over a period of two years, in the area of the US dubbed ‘Tornado Alley’, these stunning images are an awesome reminder of the violent power of mother nature, perfectly capturing the humbling scale of these mammoth weather systems.
Debrowner would often spend up to 12 hours tracking these super storms as they developed and travelled across the US. Whilst everyone else was running for cover, he would follow the storms until he felt they were suitably apocalyptic enough, at which point he would leap into their path and start taking pictures.
His determination and utter disregard for his own personal safety did end up paying off however. His series was chosen, over thousands of other entries from all over the world, to scoop the prestigious L’Iris d’Or at this years Sony World Photography Awards.
