Tell me this isn't a forest fire begging to happen. I read that around 20 fires were started last night. This may be one of them:
I was outside for about 15 minutes until the lightning got too close for comfort. I wasn't in the mood to have my obituary in the newspaper the next day. When the lightning gets this close, you don't want to be the nimrod standing outside with a tripod.

tell me your settings on your camera to capture these great shots. i guess tom might be able to tell me, but he would never let me go outside in a lightning storm.
The only thing I adjusted was the exposure time. I experimented between 8 and 13 seconds. Yea, it was kind of scary once the storm got closer. I didn't dare stay out too long.
These are awesome! I wanted to do that but Alex didn't want me being the nimrod. Dangit!
Your blog cracks me up. You are a talented writer and photagrapher.
I have asked Mandy if there is anything you cant do? And I dont think there is.
Thanks for sharing your insiteful and comical views.
Sorry about the misspellings. Thats what you get when you are holding a baby and three other kids are bugging you.
Awesome stuff. I like that you can see where the lightning hit! Try setting your camera on BULB and holding the shutter open for 1 minute or more to catch multiple strikes. F-stop has to be set fairly high and iso low.
AMAZING! I also wanted to grab my camera, but I was way too chicken!
