Watching the Sky

Its that time of year... time for some summer heat Thunder and lightning storms..

I have a huge fascination with capturing lightning photographs. Ever since I was a young boy I loved the thunder and lightning. My first ever attempts at capturing a bolt on film were not all that great. Not understanding about aperture and shutter speeds made for some interesting attempts. I just though if I held the button down long enough I would get the shot. Granted I was just a young boy, However the shots did produce some results. You could see the hint of what could very well be a bolt of lightning, but it looked as if it was high noon outside the photo was so bright.

Ever since that time I have always got that rush of excitement when I see thunderstorms on the horizon.

Now that its that time of year again, the camera and tripod are ready, batteries charged, rain gear at hand. Like a News reporter charging to the scene I'm ready to chase the lightning.

New Studio in the works

We have not made any recent posts lately due to the fact we have been very busy with our new studio build.
What was once an old semi truck shop is rapidly becoming what will be the new photo studio.
Our current progress consists of:

• new electrical replaced and strung,

• an elevated catwalk for taking high angle photos,

• and currently going through the permit process before we begin insulating.

Keep checking back as we will post updates here as the build continues.

Thanks for stopping by the Rogue Studios Blog
