Oklahoma Lightning
October occasionally brings severe weather to the Southern Plains, and this lightning photograph was captured as a severe thunderstorm moved through Norman, Oklahoma in October 2001. I didn't think ahead for this shot at all, only grabbing my camera gear and heading out somewhere on the University of Oklahoma campus. The first lightning shot I captured this night was of Bizzel Library. Soon after, I set up on the west side of the library, framing this teepee sculpture into the shot, leaving enough sky open for a nice lightning capture. I got lucky.
This was shot on Fuji Velvia 50 color slide film, using my Olympus OM-2S. Shutter speed was approximately 15 seconds, and the aperture was f5.6, with a focal length of 50 mm.
