Loving Lightning!

Not sure why, but I am really getting into photographing lightning all of a sudden!  I think it's the fact that it's not as easy as it looks, plus all kinds of factors that have to present and *just right* to get a stellar image.  And don't get me wrong, it gets *very* frustrating when you don't get all those factors when you are right there and ready with your camera!  In the fashion that is Dee, I'm usually a day late & a dollar short, and it's no exception when it comes to trying to photograph lightning!  It never fails that when the conditions are just right for great shots, I don't have my camera or unable to get to an open landscape. 

This is all still just a trial and error to get the right camera settings, predict strike areas, and timing to get the bolts.  I have to admit, that I love the process!  It's like sitting on pins & needles for the seemingly endless seconds that the shutter is open and seeing strikes, then waiting for the preview to come up to see what I captured!

I caught the tale end of this storm, but was able to get a few images worth posting!
