Lightning photos

[den]

I've tried to take lighting photos in the past, but I've NEVER taken one like this. Yes, that is a leader rising in front of the palm tree.

This all presupposes that the photog was present for the shot. There are a number of sophisticated tripods now available that are remote-controlled and patchable straight into the camera, allowing the photog to be safely out the elements when taking shots of dangerous weather.

Neat shot, btw.

The photgrapher was standing in his car port so he was protected from the rain and hail. He thought he'd get some shots of lightning but didn't expect that.
