July 8th – First Storm

Posted on July 9, 2012

I believe this is a photo-of-the-day first. I was watching a movie last night and was about to go to bed when out of nowhere my entire bedroom was illuminated from across the bay. Grabbed the camera and tripod and spent the next two hours shooting as this happened.

30 minutes would pass without any good lightning strikes, and then the ones that did would be hidden within the clouds so that the only thing that would show up would be a foggy light from within the clouds. Out of some 30-40 photos, these three were the only ones where a visible bolt of lightning shot across the sky. Absolutely worth the wait.
