lightning photography

although i've been spending a lot of time scouting for a nice setting for lightning photography, i didn't have a chance to make it to the planned location. halfway through the storm i grabbed my camera and trekked across the street into a giant field.

here are my favorite images. i packed up and walked home after the last one. there's no point in standing in the rain after getting an image like that. i love the trails of the tail lights in the first and i'm glad i chose to include the road. that's where all the lightning was anyway, so i guess it wasn't really a choice. :)

next time, i'm going to make sure that i have the wide angle lens on the camera BEFORE i'm outside.
