Cold Front

Lightening is on my bucket list but usually there is rain associated with our lightening around here and I don't want to stand in it with my camera. . I keep trying alternative ways to catch it. Tonight all I caught was this approaching cold front.

Oh my, I was thinking the same thing today; I have lightening on my bucket list, and I was driving in the middle of a torrential rain and lightening, wishing I could use the camera, but it was either drive or shoot...

@anazad511 Well it gives us something to aspire to I guess. in your case driving was the wiser choice.

@grammyn It was such heavy rain that I had to turn on the red blinkers.

@anazad511 Wow! I have driven in that kind of rain. you were doing well to keep driving.

Yes, it would be so neat to capture a nice bolt, but there is danger there also

Me too, I want to catch those lightening strikes, but I have been unable to do it to date.

I have been lucky enough to get a couple of lightening shots....it was dry both times.

@digitalrn I know and i have to confess that is a bit limiting to my adventure. I need a storm a long way off with an unobstructed view and I don't foresee that happening around here.

@leananiemand I am in my second year with no hope of catching one anytime soon.

@onie_m I remember yours. They were good. something to aspire to for me!

Well done on the perseverance though, I can actually see that cold front, well caught. Yes; lightening and bucket lists, a must. However here in England it could be where I actually get to kick the bucket. To capture lightening in the Midlands (aka Middle Earth) I need a vast flat field with a lonely tree, my luck though it will hit me and not the lonely tree. Sigh...again :P

@silverlight Thanks so much, Cheryl for taking the time. LOL I feel the same way about finding the right spot to shoot lightening too!

Brrr - looks too much like winter!
We have the same issue here - usually associated with torrential rain!

[katy]

@jankoos This was before rain and 80+ degrees so no Brrr to it!

[Diane]

I was jealous that you got a cold front until I read your previous post! Nice light in this shot though. I guess we can hope for cooler days ahead....

@eudora Well it WAS cooler just not cool enough! ;~}
