Stormy Weather...

I could have titled this post "Very Wet June" or "Way Too Much Freakin' Rain", but decided to focus on the very cool lightning storm we experienced earlier this evening. The sky to the south was lit up for almost 30 mins with nearly constant lightning, and we heard a low rumble of thunder that really didn't seem to stop that entire time.

I have always wanted to try to capture some lightning photos but never really had an opportunity. Tonight, I decided to give it a shot and was able to get some pretty cool shots!! These were all taken without a tripod, as I didn't want to waste time trying to find it. I did, however, prop the camera on a table and some books so I could set the exposure to 2 seconds. I probably took about 25 shots, and these were the three that were keepers...




I think this one is my favorite...


We did stay dry earlier in the evening through this portion of the lightning storm, but I think the sky is about to open up and drench us once again :(
