Description

It's been over 3 years since I've shot lightning.  Had a fast moving line of thunderstorms sweep through tonight so I had to go try.  I got 9 frames.  This was the next to last shot before the rain and hail hit.  I thought I had forgotten how to set up the camera--yes, it did take a couple frames to dial in exposure and white balance but got it so quick it surprised me!  I had forgotten how much fun this is!  
This photo, right here, tonight, is one of the reasons--one of the BIG reasons I retired from trucking.  Missing the opportunity to shoot storms like this along with a mostly thankless career was just sucking the soul out of me.  I didn't regret retiring and I certainly have no regrets now.  All I have is gratitude for the opportunity and for the people who believed in me.
This is for you.  Thank you! 

Oh, this shot is straight out of the camera--no editing.  I didn't think it needed much anyway.
