One of the things I miss from when I lived in the Eastern US is lightening so I was excited when there was thunder and lightening in the Grand Canyon. I don't have one of the devices that picks up lightening and activates the shutter but figured maybe I could catch a strike if I just kept shutter down with continuous shooting. They were totally unpredictable and I didn't think I had caught a strike until I got the photos on my computer. I got one! Deleted 50 shots that didn't have a strike but at least I got one. I was thrilled. It is tiny in the frame but you can see it if you view on black.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Awesome capture. Know exactly what you mean about getting a bolt. Fortunately, it works a little better after sunset when you can use a longer exposure, and still I have to delete most of them as it just didn't happen.
That is one spectacular shot Jane, the lighting on that amazing landscape is amazing. Great work to get a lightening strike without one of those gizmos.
I am so enjoying the contrast of the darkness with the light and that lightning strike is fabulous. I have never yet managed to capture one.......on my list!
