Lightning!

I took this a few minutes ago as a storm passed our place...


It's the first picture of lightning I've ever captured. A little lackluster, yeah... but kinda cool nonetheless!

  1. It has a very kodachrome quality...the picture, not the lightning!

  2. Wow, it seems random since the rest of Provo looks so sunny. Way to have the timing down Barry.

  3. That's really cool! We've had some crazy lightning storms up at Bear River, too, and today it snowed...

  4. I'm impressed. You have to have pretty good timing to catch lightning. And ditto to Merilee's comment. There's quite a juxtaposition of sunshine and storm in this photo.

  5. Provo looks brighter than it actually was because the picture was extremely overexposed. I stopped down as far as I could go on my f-stop, but at that time of day, with an 8 second exposure, unless you have some sort of light reducing filter (which I do not) you're going to get a very over exposed image. I was able to tone it down in photoshop which is why it has that real thick kodachrome look to it.
