Electric

One thing that I really love about Arizona is the summertime lightning displays (and the storms that come along with). Beautiful. Truly.
Last night we had an awesome storm. Luckily the lightning came several minutes before the rain, so I got to try taking pictures of lightning (something I've always wanted to do) without getting soaked!

Nice pictures! I was watching that last night, it was so cool. Didn't even think to take pictures though. I guess you'd have to sit with your camera pointed and wait and hope you pointed it in the right spot?

Yeah, I just set up my tripod and put it on the continuos setting. Then I took about 400 pictures at a 1/4 second shutter speed and got about 10 with lightning in them:) There is probably a better way to do it though...
