Wild Storm August 24, 2011

Well last night we had a nice wild storm come through the area. Tornado watches and warnings as well as Severe Thunder storms. There was a bit of rain that came down as well, but glad it didn't last that long. The sky was light up so well the only thing that I could describe is bombs going off over head. It was eerie at time as the lightning was all around (North, East West, South and over top of me) At some times there was in all directions. Gotta love a good lightning storm while standing near a metal tripod Below are some pictures that I captured during the storm. There was times that the sky was so light up it severely over-exposed a bit of the pictures.

COOL, or should I say.... HOT, cause I am pretty sure a lightning strike would be very HOT.... Nice Captures....

Was trying to figure out the exposure you have listed... is that seconds or what? I have been doing multiple 10 second exposures when I am out shooting lightning....
