After shooting this pic I found that I was doing it all wrong. You should have it set to a long exposure...but I just wasn't thinking. Therefore it was a lucky shot. You do get more detail though if you have a short shutter speed like this.
Middletown, NY - Lightning streaks across the sky above a street and houses during a summer thunderstorm on the night of July 25, 2009. The streaks of light are from passing cars during the long exposure.
Not a brilliant shot composition wise, however I've not yet had the opportunity to capture lightning, and Friday night I was given the chance to give it a bash with a surprisingly hefty thunder storm. With most strikes NE and E from the rear of the house, one can assume that these were testing the abilities of the Lightning Conductor rods on the two Severn Bridges.
The Streamer-Retarding Air Terminal consists of a multiplicity of dissipator electrodes comprising the point of the air terminal, an elevation conductor, and a threaded base support. Part of a lightning protection system.
It was thunderstorm this evening and I noticed that the lightning keep striking at the same spot many times. So I decided to capture the lightning. I just snapped from my room's window with slow shutter speed and hope the lightning will strike and my camera will capture it. Luckily I managed to capture two times and I think I would like to share this one on Flickr.
