Foothills Lightning

Tucson, AZ

This has been an unusual thunderstorm season for us so far. There has been lots of lightning with various storms,
but there also has been a lot of rain. So that has limited what I've managed to capture. This early evening was a
little different, but I still had to pack up right after this shot because it started to rain. Taken from the deck at home.

Excellent image, Sam. The lightning is wonderful but the rest of the sky, particularly on the left is wonderful. Beautiful details and contrast. Superb work. Vote.

Fabulous capture! Love the various light and dark areas in the clouds as well as being able to see some detail in the mountains near the strike.

This is absolutely a beauty. Not only the lighting but the scene itself."V"

Absolutely brilliant. My own camera seems to have magic properties; when there's a thunderstorm you can set it to multiple exposure to run for a couple of minutes and there will be zero lightning for that time. As soon as it stops shooting, the lightning starts again. Lather, rinse, repeat. But you nailed this one; the clouds almost look like they've broken open to let it through from above. Right time of day too; neither too much nor too little light in the sky.
