About the photographer About the photographer I am Harald Edens, photographer of lightning, clouds, atmospheric optical phenomena and astronomy. Using about 2 36-frame rolls of film per week, I photograph about anything of these subjects that I consider worth a photo. I first became interested in weather when I was 12 or 13 years old, and since then the hobby has gotten more time-consuming than ever. I need to go and view the sky very often, about once every half hour, because I don't want to miss a thing, if at all possible. My weather photography passion consists of observing, reading books, taking photographs and showing my work and obsession to the public, by designing and maintaining this site.
Many people complain about the weather.
I do not complain - not anymore. I am very glad that I have learned to respect every kind of weather. I have always something to go watch for, which weather type may be. I may be in for a surprise all of the time. What exactly started my weather photography hobby, I still do not know.
