And the Lightning strikes (4 lightning pics from last night)

in photofeed •  6 years ago

Last night my sister @sjarvie5 was visiting Utah and i took her offroading way up into the high wasatch mountains to get a sunset... we didn't get one.

We got a lightning storm instead right at sunset. And then it chased us off the mountains a minute or two after these pictures... you don't want to be on top of a 9000ft peak during a lightning storm. haha

Also the roads we went up are very dangerous when wet so we high-taled it out of there and got home safely but were able to photograph about 4-5 strikes in a couple minutes and then saw dozens of flashes on the way down.

Time to change the screensaver I guess. haha

Wow these are insane, awesome! I have always wanted to capture lightning like this but never have managed it!

it was fun... i've only photographed lightning a couple times. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time for it.

Great works! Love the photos at the same level as I love lightning storms :). BTW, I didn't know @sjarvie5 is Your sister :D. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you managed to stay alive in a crazy chase. :)
Thanks for bringing up these beautiful shots, and keep 'em coming there are beautiful!
Also, congratulation on curie!!!
Cheers!

thanks... and yes it was a touch dangerous but i think we got out of there at the right time.

These shots are amazing.............. And any of them will be perfect.

After long hard at it..... I think I'll Go With number 3

Wow these are amazing man! I just started to try out lightning photography. Get some amazing lightning storms here in AZ. My favorite is probably the first one that you used, because we get up close and personal with one of the bolts. haha but they are all amazing. great job!

Arizona has some crazy storms from time to time.

That is for sure! haha :)

Insane good pictures of ⚡️⛈🌙

Which cam, setting do you used,?

By the way , i had been afraid that the thunder had hit me hard 😅.

20 second shots is what we were doing. So we didn't have to hit the button as often.

Really nice shots, I would love the second photo. And yeah, you did it right.

Glad you guys reached home safely.

very nice, i am photograper , very happy if you follow me

Love the shots! In the same level as I love lightning storms! Beauties!

I'll go with number 1 but any of these work quite splendidly! Have you tried layering the other 3 images into one?

i'm not a photoshop person (i don't own it) but that sounds pretty cool.

Lol @jarvie Me neither. I only use my Samsung GalaxyS8 Note smartphone and a couple apps to do edits. I remember seeing an option to layer photos though. Wish I could figure a way to take incredible photos such as yours using my cellphone!

2!

You are definitely the best Scott. I would have been so scared I would have probably gotten it out of focus LOL. Love the sharpness in the second shot.
