I am getting excited this year for monsoon season. This year monsoon season will start about mid- June and end in August.
I am going to try very hard this year to get an image of lightening crackling over the big Arizona sky. We shall see if I achieve success.
Please share any tips you have to take photos of bolts of lightening.
Remember, this means hiking with a metal tripod up near a tree on a mountain and hanging out for the shot. I have to avoid getting struck by lightening during the lightening storm.

I'm glad you looked up!

ReplyDeleteLove that bright sun blazing through those white clouds. It makes the sky look even more blue.
ReplyDeleteFantastic sky!
ReplyDeleteI read in one of my photography mags--and you likely already know this Julie--that it takes a wicked long, and I mean like 10 minutes, exposure time to capture one of those images that has multiple lightning strikes in the distance. Google image search lightning to see many great photos. I guess it'd have to be pitch dark, or have a darkening filter if bright outside, to allow a huge exposure time like that, huh. Good luck with it, don't get electrocuted, Julie, and looking forward to some amazing photos.
