More Storm Pics

Posted on Jun 10, 2009 in Daily Grind, Joplin/4-States, Rural America | 3 comments

I was up late last night sorting through all the pics that yesterday’s storm provided. So I finally narrowed it down to just 2 that I will post here. There was another one that would have been cool, but I moved the tripod during the exposure, so it was blurry.

I decided it’s kind of harder to photograph lightning during the day because it’s hard to keep from overexposing the image. Also, I missed the best lightning strike of the whole storm while I was fidgeting with the tripod leg. Never did get that ‘exceptional’ lightning pic that I’ve always hoped to get, but i still got a few good ones.

Enjoy!

  1. Wow, really like that first one.

  2. Friend, I am glad you are taking so many fantastic photos. However, I am concerned that every time a tornado approaches, it seems you are more likely to be on the roof of your garage than in your basement.

  3. That is funny because as I was standing up there taking pics, Hannah called and here is kind of how the convo went:

    H: There is a big storm coming in, are you being safe?

    R: Umm, yea?

    H: Are you sure?

    R: Hey remember that cool show about the ferrets on OPT the other night?
