I try to capture these types of images, but usually fail. This is a great capture of a difficult subject.

thanks everyone for your nice comments. It was a easy capture. Just in the right place and the right time I guess. I have more photos from this same storm. Will post them later. Thanks again,

Mike

I enjoy all types of weather photography. I'm currently using a Canon EOS T2i Digital Camera. Lightning photography is my favorite and every chance I get during a Arizona storm I'm out taking photos of it.
