Have you ever tried to photography lightning? Seriously though, it’s hard. The other night there was an amazing dry lightning storm. Growing up, we would always visit family in San Angelo. One of the things I remember was the dry storms. The lightning was incredible. It lit up the sky for hours and you could see it for miles. Really, just one of those things of nature that you grow to appreciate. Too bad when I was a kid I just couldn’t understand why it was lightning but there was no rain. I must have asked my mom a thousand times, “where’s the rain”.

Anyways, I was driving home from the store the other night and there was some seriously amazing lightning. I called hubby and had him meet me outside with my camera. I had no flash attached so I had to crank up the ISO to get enough light. I mean, how hard could it be? But, really, I must have stood there for an hour shooting my camera like I was a mad women. I took probably 300 shots and you know what I got??? 300 shots and all I got was one(lousy) shot, the rest…black. How irritating! As I’m shooting I am thinking that I’m getting some amazing stuff to maybe frame in the house. But, nope, nothing. It turns out, photographing lighting is a lot harder than I ever thought.
