Lightning!

We finally got some rain where I live and there was some really cool lightning going on all this evening so I got some pics from our back yard.

How the hell do you photograph lightning!? Do you just start snapping away when it happens and get some pics or do you take a guess and just start snapping off pics hoping that lightning will strike!?

Incredible pics BTW.

The thunder storms we have here in Oklahoma are amazing. With the exception of the twisters I really love the them.

Beautiful clouds too.

If you want our Lightning/Thunderstorms, you have to take our infamous Tornadoes too.

Looks like it's setting the ground on fire

We don't get lightning in LA, that would probably scare the crap out of me

I used to shoot lightning as a hobby. But I would use a HD camcorder and do screen grabs. It worked pretty well and I missed a hell of a lot fewer shots.

But those are great shots. The shots I got were of the cheesy weak-assed lightning here in the high desert in SoCal. I saw some of your OK lightning when I was working in Scammon KS and staying in Joplin MO. It was a dream come true but I didn't have time to shoot any.

Bad ass video Phil Sierra. I had no idea that ball lightning lingered that long.
