Luck and The Weather

Sometimes you just get lucky. Driving home from the gym with Phil yesterday night I said, "I wish it would thunder and lightning tonight." I had hardly finished my sentence when the skies got dark and the lightning started striking.

After I dropped him at home I stood out in the rain for about a half hour shooting (Until my poor camera refused to work anymore) But I got a few keepers out of it!

Re: Luck and The Weather

Only thing is I have this mental image of standng upright,... in a clearing,... in the rain,... with a metal object in your hands or next to a metal tripod!
Ever have any close calls?

Re: Luck and The Weather

Merlin, to add to your image I was also standing under high tension powerlines....but I do atleast have a grounded tripod....

The lightning was far enough off that I wasn't worried, but last year I had a few times where I had to stop shooting because I thought the thuinder was going to ruptire my ear drums. Now I carry ear plugs
