I can’t see a thing out of my window right now thanks to the rain – except for when the huge 3-4 armed bolt of lightning that just ran up from the building in the center of my window. I’m still seeing spots, or rather lightning streaks. Whoa.
Can I really be blinded by the light? And why is it that your camera is never ready to capture moments like that when you need it?

Ooooh. I wish it was storming here! Lucky you!
Sadly, almost every person I’ve known that’s ever gotten a good lightning picture did it by accident. I shoot video for a living, and I still only have maybe five video clips of decent lighting in ten years.
I managed to take one good lightning picture last summer. It’s hard to get one!
I spent two entire storms (at least an hour each) with my camera. I set the shutter to 10 sec. and just kept clicking hoping I’d get something. I think I took at least 100 pictures for the one good one that I got.
