Great shot!

I gotta get back to Arizona...


Bob it's "worst than that. For that shot I didn't even step outside. But
I did have to put down my Beer, pick up the Camera and walk 12 feet to the
Window to take it.
If it's Lightning you're after now's the time to be here. Night shots
with my Camera are easy due to the Bulb Shutter Setting. Place Camera on
tripod and just hold the Shutter open until the "Flash" goes off ;-).
I didn't see this Picture come through so it may duplicate under the
title of "Ok to turn the Computer on again". Probably stuck in a Server
somewhere and can't find it's way out ;-)

Thanks. It was one of those stay inside shots as the lightning was all
around us 15 minutes later.

Good to meet a man who suffers for his art... ;^)

I was there in July of 197something when the monsoons arrived - very
impressive, but I didn't manage any photos at the time.

Below are the results of nearly 40 years trying here in Seattle... Not
that
I'm displeased with them, we just don't get many opportunities. But we
also
don't get to 120°. Fair trade, perhaps...

1991 and 2004. Otherwise, squatsville for opportunities like this around
here. Most of our thunderstorms are one-clap-wonders in the spring,
accompanied by low ceilings and copious drippage not conducive to creative
photography.


When I used to live in the S.F. Bay Area I remember the News when there
were 4 Thunder Claps would announce "A Major Thunder Storm".

Far more rarely, every summer or two we get a whiff of the far western edge
of the monsoonal moisture you folks produce in such abundance. If all works
well, we get relatively dry, high-based convection with multiple lightning
strokes - and if we've been ~really~ good, it happens after dark...


Oh we don't produce the Moisture. It's one of the few things we get from
Mexico I have any use for. And for us, if it all works well we get extremely
Damp, High Convection. As to the Lightning, except for interesting pictures
I can do without it.

If it's not dark, it still makes for pretty scenes.


No argument here. I enjoy watching the Clouds change.
