This is when things started to turn dicey. Thunder was rolling in the distance, and the rain had started.

Sorry about all the rain spots on the lens. I just was having a difficult time balancing the umbrella and the camera, and the wind was blowing directly into the camera.

Great weather shot, Lori. Looks like you got a good soaking. Ominously black clouds and I like it when the rain is just beginning or ending and you can still see through the wall of water. Terrific image.

Woo-hoo! Thanks everybody, and thanks approvers. What a great day! Except for my poor plants, trees and vegetable garden. They are pretty much shredded.

Thanks Winky. We are bracing ourselves for round two that might materialize this afternoon. The thunderheads are already building.

Thanks guys. Shane - how in this world do you wrangle a camera and an umbrella at the same time for daytime lightning? I needed a whole extra hand! LOL

I see it's raining down your way! All we are getting is clouds and noise.

Hey SV Lover... I'd be more than happy to tell you how I shoot daytime lightning but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to send you e mail through this site... and I am not web illiterate, this site is just so complicated... so if you can figure a way to e mail me so I can reply..... (and maybe clue me in on how to e mail via WU...)

Excellent shot here, you are right... our shots are somewhat similar. Congrats on the AC!

About SVLover
SVLover Hello from the far northern part of California. My name is Lori and I live in a little place called Scott Valley, just below the Oregon border.
