Jax Beach Thunderstorm Lightning

So it was thunderstorm night and whatever got into me, I decided to head out to beach to capture some lightning. Turned out to be a very frustrating experience for me. It was raining and my camera is not waterproof & every time I fiddled with my cam when there was nothing going on, major lightning strikes...and I miss it, finally used a remote shutter release and managed to capture this even though I'm sure I missed 70% of it. That's the best I could get. I just kept on missing it.

 

Mind you it was a bit intimidating when you see..major lightning right above your head in sky!!! I'm sure there will be other nights like these if I decide to take the risk.

 

One advice from this experience, don't even attempt this without a Remote shutter release, you don't have any time to react @ all.
