Close Lightning
Monsoon thunderstorms across Arizona frequently provide some of the most intense, colorful and beautiful lightning strikes imaginable. The arid climate and associated high cloud base allows for an unimpeded view of the lightning channels during these intense storms. In the above photograph, a cloud-to-ground stroke connects with an intracloud stroke, serving as a background to the University of Arizona campus dorms in Tucson.
Olympus OM-2S
Fuji Velvia ISO 50 color slide film
10-15 second exposure
Aperture unknown (like between f/5.6 - f/8)
This shot was taken in September 1999, one of my first professional-quality lightning photographs. It shot was featured fullpage in the University of Arizona Alumni Association quarterly (Seen here).
