Lightning Strikes

Never did, nor had any interest in lightning photography before.
Got stuck in traffic on the West Side Highway. Bored. One hand on the
wheel, one hand holding camera. Listened to the thunder. Timed it.
Got lucky...Lightning Strikes!!!

Note: In order to prevent accidents, kids, don't try this at home :-)


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great timing. Traffic jams provoke the wrath of god, and everybody else. V
