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.
