this bolt hit quite close to where i was standing... i decided to end the night right after i took this.... as soon as i walked underneath my patio awning, the rain went from a slight drizzle to a violent downpoor...

That is most awesome! :+fav: for sure!

Great job! Keep it up :)

The more massive an object is, the more gravity it contains, which explains why it is harder to get ketchup out of the bigger glass ketchup bottles. More importantly it is also why a big screen tv collects more dust than a hoover.
That is awesome. I tried capturing some lightning bolts but I guess my timing is always way off...never caught one. Haha. :+fav:

:heart: Are you afraid of being alone? Cause I am. I'm lost without you.
very nice. did you have a reason to be ready looking at that spot? just out of curiosity, how many did it take to get this one?
but I wouldn't recommend being a lightning photographer, especially if you use a metal tripod.
:explosion:
:sprint:
this was the last shot of 15. i basically walked outside, then walked right back inside....
this shot is the full frame. just out of frame, twards the bottom, is my next-door neighbors house...

the lightning here is actually quite predictable. it basically walks like legs across the valley floor.. all you have to do is time your shots to a specific area of the thunderhead, mostly where youve previously seen a sizeable bolt... 30 seconds later and BAM...

i think lightning photography is all about managing your risk.... its kinda like wearing a seatbelt in a car.. you follow the rules... you stay reletively safe.

You have to take this world which you experience and translate it to a two dimensional piece of paper and make it come alive again to somebody that has never experienced it before. - Rodney Smith, photographer
What a neat lightning shot! It's very intense :)
