Incoming storm at sunset to our campsite in Pahrump Nevada produced plenty of lightning, high winds and rain.

WOW! Amazing. I've always wanted to get a shot like this, but never have been so lucky. Great work, great mood.

Excellent shot and well timed.

Wow from me. too. We have lightning here but it's never close enough for me to get a shot of it. TFS Bob. Great shot.

We had a week of daily storms Jerry, so you have a better pick or chance of shots like this. You gotta love the heat though standing outside waiting for the storms to develop.

It is so much easier in the wide open desert for sure. Glad you like the photo, thanks Bob

I set the camera on bulb, so just have to release the shutter when a good bolt comes down. Bruce I was playing with the WB and got a different hue on this one. It was really raining hard in the distance at sunset also. thanks Bob.

You'll have to put that on your to do list Dave, I'm sure you must get a storm or two up your way.
