A couple of weeks ago we had a light show over the Everglades as a storm rolled in. This time I was in almost the right place.

This is a 30 second exposure when one hope there will be a lightening strike when the shutter is open.
This time Fate was smiling on me :-)

Thanks for looking.

Thanks. I took I took 52 shots of the approaching storm. Only actually got lightening in 3 of them. It is really a hot or miss issue. I got lucky.

Thanks. I would have liked a stronger foreground but we are talking about shooting in the everglades were there are not many good foregrounds.

So you think I made the most out of the tufts of weed on the right? :-)

The only way I know to capture lightening is to take long exposures and hope that there is a flash during your exposure. Sometimes it actually works.

I'm really glad you like the image. Thanks.
