I'm ecstatic I was able to capture this!
Thunderstorms are rare for my area due to the standard weather pattern. When the do pop up they last for a half hour--max-- before either dissipating or moving on. For me, doesn't matter what I'm doing, I drop what I do to watch the thunderstorm. They're always exciting, beautiful, and mesmerizing.
I usually jog this early in the morning, but was sitting on the can for my pre-workout deposit when I heard the first rumble and decided it wouldn't be wise to head out. Instead, it was dark enough I figured a time exposure was possible, so I set up my camera on a tripod in my bedroom, set it to bulb, and tried a few times to get a flash exposed.
I got another bolt as well that illuminates more of the details of the cloud formation, but I love the way that this one arcs.
Anyone else love trying to capture lightning exposures?
