Patience Rewarded

Spent the better part of last night leaning out my living room window watching/photographing the storm. Here's what I came up with:



Things I learned from the experience: photographing lighting is much harder than it looks. The lighting must a: be exactly where you point your camera at any given time, b: be spider lightning, and not that hiding-behind-the-clouds-and-just-lights-up-the-sky lightning, c: snapped at the exact second it appears. Also, towels keep your camera dry for about 30 seconds, until they are soaked through, your cat will always attempt to dart through the open window screen when she thinks you are not paying attention, and wood floors are very, very hard to sit on for more than, say, 30 minutes at a time.
