It was late at night and my roommates and I saw the flashes of light coming from outside so we ran outside to check it out. Surprisingly it wasn’t raining and after a few minutes the thought occurred to me that I should try to photograph the lightning. I quickly ran inside and grabbed my camera, tripod and headed out to get set up. Basically with lightning photography you have to aim your camera in the general direction that you think the lightning willl strike and hope you get lucky by having the shutter open at the time of the lightning strike. Below are my first attempts. Pretty much a lot of luck but I think I got some pretty sweet shots for being my very first time. Let me know what you think.

Here are some images from 328 Youth Groups Summer Unknown kick off event. It was a lot of fun. Free food, games, cool people and a great way to kick of the summer!
