One of local photographer Benton Henry’s photographs showed up on ABC’s Good Morning America recently.  

Meteorologist Ginger Zee showed the image as part of her news cast on Wednesday, Jan. 21 morning and projected onto the Jumbotron in Times Square.
GMA producer Sam Wnek had contacted Henry the night before and asked if GMA could show the image on the morning show provided they gave photography credit. She had seen the image on one of Henry’s social media sites, and ABC TV-15 meteorologist Ed Piotrowski retweeted the image on his social media account.
“It’s been really interesting with who has seen the image and contacted me,” said Henry. “Many old friends saw it and have reached out — one comment came from a family I stayed with in Tasmania, Australia over 20 years ago!”
“The showing has sparked interest in some other weather images I made… one of a sun pillar I photographed last year will be ‘atmospheric photo of the day’ tomorrow on a site out of the UK that specializes in atmospheric anomalies. They received the image from Trudy Bell—a scientific writer for NASA. I had met Trudy online when she saw an image of mine (a full moon with a halo) and was researching it to see if it was a true parselenic circle (moon generated rings )— certainly a winding tale of image views,”  he said.
