Lightning Storms

I got home from a great Labor Day at the lake nervous about the week ahead.  Kicking off the budget cycle at work, big meetings, a big birthday party, and loads of important stuff that I haven't finished yet on other fronts as well.  I needed something to take my mind off the looming wall of responsibilities...

Well, the evening presented a pretty good excuse to pull out the camera and test my almost 40 year old reflexes...


Of half a zillion pictures and one dead battery pack, I got two.  I'm happy with the shots though.  This back yard is presenting a pretty spectacular venue for photographs...


Oh, and I lied about the reflexes part...  The trick is have very low light conditions, find a storm with lightning...duh, set a camera up on a tripod with a 30 second exposure, grab a chair, keep shooting while watching the storm, and presto!  See, honesty in blogging right there folks...

Happy Monday.
