Yes Bridges, lightning can make for great photos, but the storm has to be just right and when shooting outdoors, conditions have to be right. In other words, opportunities for good photos are few and far between, at least here in the Midwest. Out west storms tend to be smaller, more isolated and pack a lot more lightning than our average, widespread, wind blowing, rain filled storm. The lightning may be there, but trying to shoot in blinding rain, hail and 60 mph wind leaves a lot to be desired. Here's a couple from a recent storm.

I sent a couple of lightning photos and I thought they were going here, but apparently not. Where they went I can't say, very reminiscent of my second wife. Here today, gone tomorrow never to return. Years later I still have no idea of where she went. And don't worry, she's not buried in the garden or stuffed under the kitchen floorboards.

Well what do you knoow, they did show up. Kind of like my mom's old buddy, he was always late for everything, although eventually he would show up.

The past few days have been sunny, but I was stuck here doing work around the house. Now that I have some free time, it's cloudy with rain on and off, with the same forecast through the weekend.
I want to get out and take some pictures, but I need your ideas. What's good shooting on a rainy day?

go see bryan peterson @adorama TV has some great ideas for shooting in doors, the pizzia idea, has one on shooting a screen with a colorful background with water, just to name a few, could also try smoke or water drops.

Super idea!. I have never thought of creating images from inside of a car on a rainy day. Thanks a bunch, and don't ask me how much is a bunch! :-)

Wonderful photos of lightning and its effect on the clouds! Will go hunt a storm this winter and see what I can do - very inspiring!

Many years ago...I loose track of time...there was a photographer (again...can't remember his name, perhaps one of you will know who I'm referring to) who made the most wonderful color images...often before, during or after a storm...many landscapes...sort of... he called his photography "atmospherics." They were in the film days, they weren't made using filters...just strange things he found in nature...WOW! I wish I could find some of that stuff, I would reference it here. If anyone knows what I'm talking about...tell my wife...

Thanks for directing my viewing to that site - what one must see if one was a nomad camping out under the stars! Is it good fortune or good organisation to be in the right spot for such photographs?
