Thanks Mike! These were shot with the humble ol’ kit lens - I needed something wide, and shooting in city lights I didn’t need the speed, plus the optical quality improves quite a bit around f/8.
Incredibly sad, though, hearing about the lightning-related deaths on the north side, though. That news hits very close to home and is definitely making me re-evaluate my safety while out shooting. Very sobering reminder that this stuff is beautiful and deadly.
Jeebus… apparently a man was killed by lightning on the Odana Hills Golf Course this morning… I’m officially pretty damn freaked out about heading out to shoot lightning now.
WOW!! This is awesome Phil!! Which lens did you use to shoot this with? You’ll have to take me along next time you go shooting lightning!

Very nice! Now where are the obligatory photos of your cat!!!
Thanks Shane! Trust me, there’ll probably be plenty of Tela on the site eventually
