We don't get a lot of lightning in much of California, so this is one of my first lightning images, captured back in August 2006. It's a combination of two adjacent exposures, to include the lightning from each. To catch lightning it's simplest to use long exposures (so you don't have to buy a special shutter release triggered by the lightning flash itself), but it's also often windy close to these storms, so there is some risk of tripod movement. The images I combined to create this ended up a little soft, so they'll never make great large prints, but I still like seeing the event in a less demanding resolution like this.

ANY image of lightning, in my opinion, is awe-inspiring! It is my absolute favorite subject to capture!
We get lightning quite often in Georgia. I have loved watching the storms approach, lightning is so powerful and at a distance, amazing to watch. If it gets close it deserves to be taken seriously.
So awesome.
Good shock

Growing up in Oklahoma, we always had lightning and thunderstorms and tornadoes, but this image is so peaceful to me. It makes me yearn for a simpler time.
