Photographer, Car and Sky

I spent today being artsy. I went to the opening of the Best of Spring Into Art show at the Turner Center. I have a photo juried into that show. Click here to read more about that.

After the show I came home to a really crazy storm. The wind was insane, rain came down, and lightning was everywhere. I LOVE LOVE LOVE storms. I like to sit out on my front porch and watch them. I have been doing this since I was a child.

After the rain and wind passed the lightning kept up so I drove my car to the middle of the field across from my house and sat out with my camera to try to catch some lightning. This is not an easy task. You have to be patient, have some technical knowledge, and you also need a good bit of luck. You never know when or if a good bolt will show up so you have to be ready for it. By the time I got all set up the storm was pretty much over and the big bolts of lightning had ended. I did not have the luck part tonight. :-) Lately I haven't had much spare time to just play around and make art with my camera so tonight I did. Here is one of my experiments. I call it Photographer, Car, and Sky. If you click the photo it will enlarge. You should do that because you really can't see any detail here.

Thanks for looking!
