Static Electricity

Here it is the middle of July and Colorado's monsoon season is finally here! This entire evening thunderstorm after thunderstorm rolled on through until finally I decided I was going to risk getting my camera soaked, and try and get some lightning shots!  I've never shot lightning, but I kind of get the jist of how to do it.  There were so many amazing strikes, but it was incredibly difficult to capture! Even using 30 second exposures it always seemed that the good flashes would always happen while my camera was processing the last image where I captured nothing. I hope we get a few more storms in the next few days because I would love to try again! Here are a few that I did manage to catch, and some that just turned out interesting.
