Lightning Storm in Phoenix (Tempe) just before the heavens opened up. August 28/08. 113degree day. Up to 100mph winds. Storm blew out windows at the airport and left flooding and tree bits everywhere!
Nice storm tonight over the house just after dusk. No rain so I could get on the roof to get some better shots.
This image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft - the first of its kind - shows lightning on Saturn's night side flashing in a cloud that is illuminated by light from Saturn's rings. Included here is a three-by-three montage of nine frames showing some of the lightning flashes. The cloud, whose longest dimension is about 3,000 kilometers, does not change perceptibly over the 16 minutes of observations covered by the 10-second movie. The lightning flashes are the bright spots within the cloud, and are about 300 kilometers in diameter. The lightning strikes last for short periods of time (less than one second before the time line of the movie was compressed). The energy output of the visible light from the lightning is comparable to the brightest lightning flashes on Earth. ASU-IPF-3088
Weather's been good for shooting. Managed to cap some lightning strikes last night.
Off to USA for a week this month. Short work trip though, no time for travel.
Taken with a Canon AE-1 Program using a 28mm wide lens.
Shutter speed was about 20 sec till the lightning struck. The aperture was set to F22 as it was still in the afternoon. Film used was Fuji Superia X-TRA 800 ISO film.
Simple technique to get this one. 30 sec exposure and covered the lens with a piece of cardboard if I was blinded by a flash in about the first 5 seconds of the exposure :)
It is a gorgeous day, snap this shots while backing up my car. I was pretty scared while severe thunderstorm activity in my area.
