Thunderstorm in Florida.
Thunderstorm in Florida. Victoria in a chair. Nikon F5 + Nikkor 28mm f2.8 + Kodak BW400CN 35mm film.
"Florida is the thunderstorm capital of the United States. The "lightning belt" in Florida is an area from between Orlando and Tampa to south along the west coast to Fort Myers and east to Lake Okeechobee.
Thunderstorms are attributed to hot, wet air close to the ground combined with an unstable atmosphere. Often the resulting thunderstorms occur during afternoons — June through September — and can be as brief as a few minutes or as long as a couple of hours, but seldom longer." - goflorida.about.com/od/floridaweather/ss/weather_5.htm
"Florida is the Sunshine State, but summer is the time of year where you will encounter a brief thunderstorm almost every day..." Well, its true - we encounter it too yesterday, in the beach near St Augustine. Shooting in rain outdoor - its almost always a complicated process, but shooting in thunderstorm on the beach - its like puling a tail of hungry tiger. Your equipment - camera, tripod, reflectors - they are became a great lightning arrester - and in open areas (like beach) you have a great chance to looks like a Christmas Tree on arsonist's party... :)
