My
name is Dimitri Rosel and I live in France in the Massif Central
district (42). I have been chasing French Storms for over 5 years,
mostly in the regions surrounding me, in order to capture Lightning
strikes on film and video. For this purpose, I have been using 3
traditional cameras as well as a digital camcorder to which I have
recently added an HDV camera.
My
passion for weather phenomena started in my childhood, when I could
sit for hours in my room looking at the sky through the window instead
of doing my homework ! I was fascinated by both Snow and Lightning,
although I was terrified by the latter.
It was only much later, as I was watching a documentary on a "Storm
Chaser" on television, that I got really serious about Thunderstorms.
I felt so fulfilled while watching the program that I understood
straight away I would dedicate my life to Storms. Nothing has changed
since that time, except that I am even more in awe of Storms.
