My First Try at Lightning




Tonight I was taking the dogs out running. I didn't know more storms were forming; I thought most of it was over with. Was I wrong!

I started seeing some cloud-to-cloud lightning. I grabbed my tripod, camera, and remote control for the camera. Its very dark outside except for the clouds reflecting the lights of San Marcos. So, in the pictures you'll see here, they look like they are being done in daylight. Not the case, these pictures have the shutter kept open for some 20 seconds allowing the light to build up on the "film".
