It's weather like this that makes me wish I had a tripod and a digital SLR. I captured a streak of lightning, but I moved the camera during the longer exposure. D'oh!
Tuesday was a very busy day for me at work.
lots and lots of assignments, one of which was shooting video and stills, and a huge storm that kept shutting off my work computer when i finally got a chance to edit.
i snuck home after my 6th assignment to eat and got a phonecall from a reporter about a woman's home that had gotten struck by lightning and her chimney was hit. i begrudgingly gobbled my lunch/dinner and jumped in my car to go find her house... all the while thinking it probably wouldn't be much to take a photo of -- no people, no sign of lightning.
got there and these women were standing in the yard overlooking the damage since the rain had let up. i took a closer look and noticed bricks littered every where. the lightning had blown-up their chimney and rained bricks on (and in) to the roof and porch and yard.
as if i wasn't afraid of lightning enough before seeing this...

Minnie Herring (right), of 596 Pitts Chapel Drive, watches neighbors slow down as they drive by to look at Herring's yard, which was covered in pieces of her chimney. The chimney of her home was struck by lightning in Tuesday afternoon's thunderstorm and pieces of it were flown onto her roof and all over her yard. "Is it that bad outside? God, it can't be raining bricks!" Herring said she said to herself after she heard the explosion. "That is more devastating than [Hurricane] Isabel to me." Her sister Deborah Brite (in tan) holding Takiyah Lewis, and her daughter Maretta stand alongside her.

Lightning in Wyoming - I took this out the passenger side window, from the driver's side of the car, going 70mph down the highway. :P
Lightning in the Santa Monica Bay
This bolt is coming in from overhead and probably striking near if not unto the "channel islands."
SH1-Light, Source-Lightning, Location- Front Light and Back Light
This picture of lighting shows front light because it lighting up the clouds and making them brighter, with small shadows on both sides. It's also backlight because the lightning gives the trees a dark shadow so you can see many details.

We had a wonderful thunderstorm passing through a few weeks ago and I decided to try to catch the lightning. Tried many different exposure times, and got the best result with 20 seconds. Quite happy with the result for being my first attempt...

Lightning from last night. One hour and a hundred shots later....this is the best one that I found when I sorted through the mess. This is my second time attempting lightning.
This is my replication of Kenneth Strickfaden’s Lightning Screen. It is a round glass screen with a metal inside hub and outside rim, which when energized will throw spectacular electrical discharges from the center to the outer rim. Strickfaden used his in"Frankenstein" (1931), "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935),"Dracula Vs, Frankenstein" (1971) and "Young Frankenstein" (1974).
