Welcome Back Old Friend!
The Monsoons were late this year but they finally showed up!
My first lightning shot of the year. The monsoon season officially started on June 15 and lasts through September but up until yesterday we've had nothing but the hot!
The rest of the week is forecast to be dry with little chance of any rain but that's just a forecast and Mother Nature doesn't pay any attention to forecasts.
I've found myself a new place to shoot from that should give me a better view of the storms as they roll through Tucson. No guarantees since lightning hits where and when it wants but with any luck I'll get a few more good ones!
This was 30 seconds in Manual Mode which worked out Ok. What I'm finding is that I might need to set the F stop a bit tighter to keep the close strikes from overloading the sensor. It's a balancing act to be sure!
