Lightening

Had you seen me outside on this night you would've thought I was a crazy person. I stood in the rain with my camera on a tripod and a garbage bag wrapped around the camera to protect it from the rain. In order to capture a photo of lightening you have to switch the camera to bulb. Then you push the trigger and hold it until the lightening flashes. Sometimes you can hold the trigger for up to a full minute before anything happens. By using the bulb it lets light in until you release it. Anyways enough of the technical stuff. Everytime I capture a photo I did a happy dance - like a little kid on Christmas morning! So enjoy my excitement as you look at the photos below.
