Praying Monk Lightning Burst Of Energy From Above
Arizona's Praying Monk with a burst of energy from above. The Praying Monk" is a rock formation on the side of the famous Camelback mountain that sits in between Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona. From the first time I saw this I was always fascinated with it and thought It would make a great spiritual shot with lightning striking.
This is a shot that I worked on for three years to get. I can not tell you how many times I went to my spot on the top side of this mountain and got nothing. This night was one of my most scariest nights chasing lightning. This was the first shot that got a little blown out it was an extreme lightning bolt of energy, I had to push process and added a texture filter and this is what I came up with. Nothing like being on the top of a huge rock with a metal tripod trying to get a shot for three years. This storm circled the mountains and swung around the back side and came back around to me. This was a very exciting night of chasing lightning. After this, I took off and did the chase to north Scottsdale. This is the first one of the five images in this series.

Storm season is here, always such an exciting time of year. This will be my 29th season... hope I make it to 30 ;-) Been a lot going on some good and some bad, I'll leave it at that. Cheers! Wishing you all the best.
