USA - Death Vally , CA - Sunrise At The Valley

I’ve always wanted to see the Mosquito Dunes here in Death Valley National Park. Took the LONG drive to the road that no body drive in .. reached here around 2am (sorry dad). The drive was scary but worth it (haven’t see much in the dark) but next day decided to do a little walk in the sand and I have to say sometimes You don’t want to take any pictures or very artistic pictures and just want to live the moment, which I did.

Hello again Lake Tahoe , you still look amazing 💙

Second visit to this place and now scouting for a sunset view 💕

USA - Yosemite NP , California - Half Dome Star Sunrise

Have you ever dreamed of going to places you only see as pictures and work hard to make this dream come true? The feeling of going into Yosemite National Park was an amazing feeling. the 10,000m Hike i did with my friend (she hates me for it😂) to the Illilouette Falls soaking my feet into so so cold water in that heat day having because my hiking shoes wasn’t so good (no thanks to ) and got sun bun it was worth everything.
Here’s an image of a beautiful sunrise after checking the weather the day before and missing a perfect storm there but yeah it was worth it.

USA - Colorado - Night Supercell

Yesterday payed off what ever crap storms Texas didn’t deliver , it’s Always Colorado putting on a show.
Earlier we had the best Sunset with a very photogenic supercell but this beast was something worth all the cold inflow.

USA - Sudan, Texas - Supercell Tornado

2021 was the best chase ever .. period.

Kuwait - Alsalmi - Street Light Reflection On Supercell

I have no words to say , nothing is coming on my mind expect that I’ve know now that not everything in life that we wish for we can have/get. And that sometimes you have to work so hard to get it and accept that you might fail.

I’m still happy that I get to chase this severe storm on Wednesday (May, 12024) and got few decent images.

Kuwait - Alsalmy - Shelf Cloud In The Desert

Two days ago on Wednesday I was waiting for the right moment to chase the severe storm set up. I have been having my eyes on all the MU/SFC (only chasers will know what’s that) to decide if it was worth going on no and was really hoping to catch some Haboob because it’s May here in Kuwait and it’s the season.
Well let’s say that day was worth Wrecking my 4 side windows of my Land Rover (HELP ) and chasing blindly with the worst Radar system in the Middle east plus following your gut feeling on the location was WORTH IT.
Got the Haboob but from the south side of the storm and it was fun seeing a shelfie.

Less of you know that I shoot film (yes you read that right) , I own two camera’s (Zenith & Minolta) both are 35mm’s and working just fine. I’ve been craving for a medium-format one since ages and finally made i got my self one of those. The amount of excitement you get over a roll of film getting developed to see what you did when you purchase a medium-format camera.
I got the Rolleicord from and done the development with them.
I have to say I AM IN LOVE !! 💙

USA - California - Sunset At The Shark Fin Cove

One of the most amazing thing I did is drive along Highway 1 and discover places

Using the Canon RF5, Canon 16-35mm f2.8L II with Lee filter ND to get the motion on the pacific water.

USA - Kauai - The Path To The Ocean

Had time today to do some edit on the Helicopter 🚁 ride in Kauai, Hawaii Last year and this was one of the images that I wasn’t too keen about until I decided to edit and give it some little color grading. It felt like a path to the open.

Kuwait - Desert - Moon Halo At Sunset

Yesterday after seeing the line of clouds in the arabian peninsula on satellite and the movement I decided it is time to go and dust off the camera since I have been and still waiting for the perfect storm and decided to do some landscape photography in the desert.
I was greeted with the best sunset in the desert and this Moon Halo with the clouds.

I think by far this is the most amazing thing I have ever witness in my life with regards to the halo

USA - Fieldton , Texas - LP Supercell At Star Sunset

It’s been almost a month since I have last uploaded an image here on Instagram. It’s been a chaotic past months. From being busy with a Full time Job, Training and Part time job of coaching to waiting for a perfect storm to chase (and I believe this season is not happening). But I am still having high hopes for some severe forecast and super rare supercells here in Kuwait.

2023 was a big challenge for me, the failures were more than my success in terms of Photography. Big decision were made in it but it was a good one (they say when one door closes another one opens right?).

A lot was learned in 2023 specially in terms on knowing not everything that I want I can get and I’ll always have to work hard in getting it.

Here’s to hoping that 2024 is full of success and peace.

Happy new year everyone 🎉💙

USA - Carmel, California - The Rough Ocean

Kuwait - Lightning Over The Sea

What a night yesterday was. I really was in state of getting depressed as I wasn’t able to chase due to adulting and my chase car being in repair but I am so thankful for for pushing me to just go.
I really didn’t have the time to adjust another camera but it was really good to be out there doing what I love to do.

USA - Kansas - Midnight Lightning

Some good lightning on our way back chasing some “bleh” stuff back in 2022. But lightning was so good though.

Season of Kuwait storms is just around the corner and long range models are very promising. But let’s just wait for the first severe storm to decide if this season is good luck charm season after a not being able to chase anything in the states this year.

Kuwait - Milky Way And The Desert

Well yesterday was something else. Wanted to go and stretch after along time not touching the camera and what’s the best way to do so? Go for night photography and see viper snakes 🤦🏽‍♀️

On viewing the picture on the back of the camera noticed this long line on the right side (swipe to for zoom) as I am not very familiar with astro-stuff if anyone knows let me know what’s this thing passed by 😅.

Camera: Canon R5
Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8II

When was the time you were amazed by seeing something for the first time?
Well mine go back to 2012 when I first witnessed the Aurora in the Highlands of Iceland.

USA - Hoisington , Kansas - Supercell II

Let’s just keep it here. I miss my friends in the states. I miss chasing with & . Miss all the laughs . The window cleaning and everything good and bad.

USA - Kauai, Hawaii - Rain Curtains

Not the usual image of storms or rain just a random one while driving around the Island Of Kauai last May. The weather was so amazing and witnessed this rain curtains off the shores. Just missing the storms so much.

USA - Lubbock, Texas - Brief Tornado & Supercell

I’ve been distanced from some social media platforms. I think in a way social media is getting very toxic and the instagram algorithm is so annoying. Do I really have to post reels to get exposed? Or should i use AI and fake images to get more likes and followers? What happened to being a photographer with passion and people liking that passion? Well something is happening. But its the way technology work and how social media is being driven by all the changes in tech.

Now here’s a shot a very natural shot I took with a camera , tripod and lots of dirt from the outflow. It was one of the best season I have chased in 2021.

USA - Arizona - Summer Sunset At Horseshoe Bend

Something from my archive (i guess the lost archive) not too sure of I still have this one on High resolution as I have lost almost the best shots when my hard drive was corrupted at some point back in 2018. Something to always keep in mind .. always make backups and backup of those backups.

Arizona , August 2015

Iceland - Thjörsa River - Veins Of Nature III

Looking at how beautiful Iceland is from above is something unforgettable. First time experienced an open door Helicopter was back in 2014 with .

USA - Kauai , Hawaii - The Clouds And Th Ocean

Have you ever wondered what birds see when they fly next to the clouds into a rainbow 🌈? Well it is Beautiful!
The blue ocean and these clouds with some drizzles it’s just dreamy!
I can never get over this day 💙

Kuwait - Abdaly - Lightning In A Supercell

I can’t wait to document all the storms of Kuwait this season (well as long as they are below Cinderella curfew 🤣). The storms here are so beautiful if you got to study how to capture one with a very decent structure. Soon I’ll fulfill a dream that I had to capture all the storms in this region from Kuwait all the way to Oman.

People will always assume you are not got at the thing that you love. Specially when you are a female, a girl, A WOMEN, they’ll always label you depending on your passion specially if that passion is a male denominated like Landscape Photography or Storm Chasing. They will call you names too. I’ve been in this situation where I’ve been called names ugly ones & its only because I love taking images of nature and chase storms with shorts and have a short hair. It’s not fun hearing it. But you know where the fun is? Its showing them that you are Too good at it , you do it anyways and still keep on doing it and you are way better doing it than their trashy talk.

Dedicated to all the women in the male denominate field . Keep on going, do it and be an example for little girls out there that WOMEN ARE STRONG.

USA - The Shark Fin Cove

One of the most amazing thing I did is drive along Highway 1 and discovered places to do what I do best along side chasing storms (which was cancelled this year) is Landscape Photography.
My friend told me about this place and we decided to take the trip on the famous highway.

Using the Canon RF5, Canon 16-35mm f2.8L II with Lee filter ND to get the motion on the pacific water.
