This book is the best weather photography book I've come across. It's part fine art, part nature. It touches on the life of award-winning weather photographer Jim Reed and provides short stories about what he experienced while storm chasing over fifteen years. It isn't a how-to book, so don't expect a bunch of camera data info on how things were shot. But the images are breathtaking, if not extraordinary, and Reed tells you where and when each of the photos were captured. If you know of anyone who likes weather images or the weather in general, I HIGHLY recommend this book.
