    If anyone needs a lesson on how to see a niche and fill it - take a leaf out of Wxman's book!

      Yes it is sort of like my “plan B” My day job is in fact C# but as some of you know in my out of work interest is the weather! Being a contractor allows me to take almost 5 weeks off in May and June where I head out to the Great plains of America to seek out tornados (Think of the film Twister) and then in September I try to intercept powerful Hurricanes as they make landfall.

      The pictures and Video that I shoot is often snapped up by production companies here in the UK and sometimes they ask me to say a few words on the programmes.

      I used to keep a list of where and when I has appeared but I did not keep it up and now is about three years out of date!

      Some of my highlights were the Richard and Judy show (Twice!) centre page spread in the Sun and also This morning – however it is the more serious documentaries that I enjoy more as they go into thing in a little bit more detail.

      The fees certainly do mount up over time

        More than interesting for once.

        Ive always thought it would be cool to go storm chasing for a while. I love lightening for example it's incredible to be in the middle of it, a little scary when your in a glass cable car in Singapore and the lightening actually hits the carriage though!!!
