Daylight Lightning

Gilbert, AZ

This is my first attempt at daylight lightning using a basic shotgun approach. Using the Mk II's high speed, huge buffer and fast SD card interface to advantage, I simply started taking pictures. I was hoping for the closer super-cell to get a single big strike that never happened. Well it did happen, I was just too busy chimping to catch it:-)

I did get this two strike shot, however. A small cloud to cloud one near the middle and forked lightning shot in the distance to the right.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice capture. I've tried the "shotgun" approach before but gave up after about 150 or so shots; not because the memory card was full but more out of frustration that there just wasn'y anything happening for me to get a picture of.
