Lightning

The weather is going crazy out here in Amherst, MA. Every 10 seconds we get a blast of lightning and then shortly after a sky tearing thunder clap...literally, it sounds as though somebody tore a piece of paper in half, but magnify it as if somebody just tore off a piece of the sky. I couldn't help but watch for a while, and then I thought maybe I should try to capture it with some photography...is it art?


No lightning...

This is fairly dark right? I took off the flash on my camera so that I could get a true sense of what the lightning was doing...providing I could capture the flash of lightning. It is obviously night time and to the right of the picture you can see a light glistening in the water on the road...


Lightning flash...

This was taken a few minutes later during a lightning flash...looks like daylight right? Amazing! It took a lot of pictures to get this shot, but I got it. I can't believe the world lights up like that when lightning flashes...Wow!

Did I mention that it is July...what happened to the sun? What is the weather like where you are?
