Some decent pics of lightening I got back in August,

Not to Shabby, this one could have been SO amazing! Although I still think it is.

This one my favorite from that night,

Hope you all enjoy...

Thanks.

I can't see anything... They're just those red "x" boxes.

you can't hotlink from geocities. to view the pictures, right click on them and go properties, highlight and copy the location, then paste in browser address bar. that is, until he fixes them.

nice pics btw.

Sweet, how do you take pictures of lightning? Just set a long exposure and wait?

ChasingAmy · 12-22-2003, 05:32 PM

Wow looks like you were in a serious storm... where was it at?
Great job... or should I say.. great LUCK on getting a picture of lightning!

The lightning themselves seem to have incredible light being projected off them, looks like it totally lit up everything in the surrounding area.
Nice job

cchris · 12-22-2003, 07:19 PM

Brilliant stuff there.

ChasingAmy · 12-22-2003, 07:45 PM

These pictures were taken 150 kms Southwest of Calgary, Alberta. In Canada eh? On the prairies. Some awsome storms can come through here.

To get a rough idea of the size of this storm and length of it, my wife and I we driving to Lethbridge from Calgary, a 200 km drive, and this storm started just as we were leaving Calgary. It was all around us. The largest storm I have ever been in. As we were driving we could look in any direction and see lightening.

Finally close to Lethbridge, I decided I couldnt let an opportunity like this pass me by. So we stopped. We were still surrounded by this huge storm system, it was amazing! Took 1 roll on my Hasselblad, 12 pics, and then just as i was packing up, it started to rain, what great timing!

Glad you guys are enjoying them,

Kris.
