Lightning Strikes Twice in Dallas

October 4th, 2005

Last Wednesday, I went to White Rock Lake with my gal to take pictures. It was a nice night, and the sun was out. We took pictures and left to eat dinner, but while we were eating we heard thunder. As we left, I could tell a storm was brewing, and we kept seeing lightning in the distance. We went back to White Rock Lake and I setup the tripod and camera facing westward on the bank. I set it up for a 30 second exposure shot, and got two lightning bolts in a single shot. Pretty lucky timing.

I hope you enjoy. Click the image for a larger version, or click here.

    And you say I get off of subject? Ha!

    Anyways, I think the picture is awesome, it looks great, and it makes you think in depth about how lighting even prodcues. I learn about it, I know, but still its fasinating.

    Ramdac can get two shots of lightening but can’t post more than 1 story a month? Peculiar.

    Yeah, I was thinking it was time for a new post also. Some poeple (Me) count on this for mental stimulation.

    I never thought I’d hear myself say that I rely on Gulledge for stimulation…. :-(
