Electric Shock |
This image is straight from the camera. I have tried capturing an image of lightning for some time. I usually end up with small glowing bursts of light that end up looking like a lightning bug flew in front of the lens. Other times I have entertained myself while on the rode by taking traveling lightning shots. I have never ended up with anything I have ever considered a true lightening capture.
This evening was finally my perfect opportunity. We had an incredible lightning storm so I jumped at the chance to set up the tripod up right in front of our house. I do not mind a tree line, in fact I think it give perspective but I am not a fan of power lines. I strategically pointed the camera on this brilliant night display of lightning that jetted across the sky without it looking residential. Since it was so late, I really did not want to pack up and head to the prairie though I am sure it would have been a spectacular sight.
I am glad I stayed put because chances are I would have ended up missing out and finally ended up with a lightning photo I am pleased with!
Thanks for visiting my blog!

I keep missing the lightning opportunities.
ReplyDeleteYour lightning photo is nice because every thing seems to be in focus - that is difficult to do.
