No AI, No CGI
Just a fine example of Mother Nature doing what she does best!
This storm rolled in at around 10 PM last night, followed the pattern of the previous storms. Came in from the North and headed South, pretty much bypassing Tucson.
I was set up in the street to get this but it was safe. We live in a 55+ gated community with a 10 MPH speed limit. Couple that with the fact that it was 11:15 and most sane people were home asleep and you can understand! There is another spot just down the road that's outside the park that would give me a better view but I choose not to go down there. It's a dead end road with no lighting and I've seen more than 1 "transaction" take place and I'm not talking about buying Tupperware!
This is a single 30 second BULB shot @ f/4.0 with ISO 100 and 32mm of zoom on the lens. I probably could've closed the shutter earlier since this all came at the same time but I didn't want to take a chance of missing something even better!
PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
