We having freaky weather here... A typical summer afternoon thunderstorm at 6am on an early winters morning? With hail? wtf is that about? Nearly crapped myself when lightning hit a tree or something in the park over the road while I was still dreaming about making out in parking lots....
Had to rush downstairs to unplug the PC. I have lost 3 power supplies, a mother board and graphics card in the last two years due to the phenomenal lightning we get here.
I took these a couple of summers ago....
I think the black ad white photo is my favoriet! :D

ReplyDeletetorchy!
Thanks all....
ReplyDelete@Torchy!... We have spectacular storms here from mid Nov till End December, there is a break, and the rain returns till the end of Feb, but more of the warm soaking type. Its unusual to have thunderstorms here right now, and it has been a full week of them, and at odd times during the day (They are more likely late afternoon for some reason)
makes my hair stand on end just looking!!
ReplyDeleteawesome pics!!! i have never been able to successfully capture lightning on film (or memory card as the case may be). :p
ReplyDeletelolz Seth, I forgot you are not comfortable around thunderstorms. Personally, I feel exhilirated by them.
ReplyDeleteHey Deadwing.. I basically set up the camera on a tripod and just keep taking exposures of eight to twelve seconds. It's a hit and miss affair, but usually there is at least one or two good ones. These were taken an old old Kodak DC4800 which has since expired service. There is a piece of land across from where I live that apparently has a high iron ore content, so it is a guaranteed hot spot for ground strikes. It makes it 'luckier' for getting good lightning shots.
