Lighting it up at Red Rock

[JimFox]

This was a few years back in Red Rock out by Las Vegas where Ryan, Darcy and Teresa hang out. When my daughter lived there I would run over to Red Rock on occasion, especially when storms were coming through. I think I shot about 200 or so frames and got 5 or 6 with lightning. I just used the Remote Release and locked it in for continuous shooting.

All comments are welcome,

Nice - that's a neat scene with the Joshua tree and Red Rock in the background.

I used to try to shoot lightning back in my film days but that was pretty expensive and I just ended up getting frustrated.

I love the way that butte connects to the cloud via the lightning bolts. Like they were all connected.

Wow Jim, Winter in the high desert, love the green...

Love the way the clouds funnel in to the lightning, Jim. A really nice scene with the tree and other vegetation giving a contrast to the drama of the sky and lightning over the mountains. Nicely done.

Perfect!

Beautiful monsoon image, Jim. You need to get a Lightning Bug and your success rate will go up dramatically.
