What a stunning capture and strong image this is. The power, structure and colours could not have been better. It was indeed as wild as it looked. It's not nice when you get caught inside of one these beasts. The ferocious winds and hail can tear a car (or house) to pieces. Two images here make up the panorama, which looks stunning across a double page spread. Olympus E3, 12-60mm SWD - F5.6, 1/13s

This supercell we captured in Oklahoma was very photogenic. If a tornado is going to form this is exactly where it will happen. I was using the 8mm fisheye to frame Al filming, in an attempt to throw a different angle on the subject. It worked well. The image tells a story from that moment in time, which was my aim.
