I don't think I've ever seen a straight tondo. Are they straight over in Ohio?

Cool photos! Wish the tog could have used a longer lens (400 mm) to pull that twister closer.

I think that Oregon couple that had the forest fire still wins the "Most Badass Wedding Photos" award.

I can see that, to a weather guy, these photos are "badass". To a wedding photographer - they're ok, kinda cool, but not badass. Tornados are cool, weddings are cool, but unless they somehow relate to one another beyond just happening upon the same moment in time, they don't do much for me.

Also, it bugs me to see crooked horizons and a halo around brushed-in subjects because of lazy post processing.

What if it were me? I would have shot the hell out of it, just like any of us here. That would not make them badass, however. Maybe the photographer could have had a little more fun with the couple, running, jumping, dancing, something to show some dynamics the coincide with the dynamics happening in the distance.

That's wild. With composition all the rage these days I'm surprised no one has used a nuclear explosion as a backdrop at a wedding.

I tried that once but by the time I got the exposure right I was out of nukes.

Wish I had shot raw.

Actually, it has been done before. I had the privilege of covering the new North Korean fatherly leader Kim Jong Un's nuptials with Ri Sol Ju (with rather tragic consequences for his ex-girlfriend).

After the album was made, I had to turn over all the RAW files, so I can't post the images here.

I may be alone in this but no way in hell I would be doing portraits with a tornado in the background. Bit dangerous for my taste. Perhaps they're used to that sort of thing though.

The horizon line.

Actually looking at them again, each one seems tilted in a different direction.

Every time I see photos like this, I think that I wish they would have had a better photographer who would better harness the situation to do something unique. The ONLY thing that makes these unique is the tornado....there is nothing truly special about them besides that.
