Oh hell yes, it’s that time of year again. It’s been since August since I’ve gone out to shoot some lightning (barring that one sunrise in January when several tornados ripped through, but I didn’t get any worthwhile lightning photos from that shoot). Here’s lucky frame number 7 from shooting tonight:
May 25, 2008 - Lighting flashes over the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art.
No Photoshoppery except to add the watermark in the corner. I still need to capture that iconic image of lightning over the Capitol. Shots like this over the MMoCA or over Lake Mendota are ridiculously easy compared to the luck you need to balance the ambient with the flash for a “lighting over the Capitol” shot.
Great shot.
