This was the first set of lightning photos I had taken in over a year! It was almost a fluke because of the time frame I had. I was heading to a party for my friend when I saw the incredible lightning over the mountains to my west. I stopped on a hilltop parking lot for a little over 20 minutes and shot the set. I normally don’t have my camera gear in my car, but with the monsoon finally kicking in, I had left the gear in the car. My only concern was the light. I normally shoot in darker areas; this time, I was overlooking a shopping center and the Southwest Auto park, so I had a lot of light to deal with. Unfortunately, my fear of over exposing and drowning out the lightning may have kept many of the pictures from being perfect, however, the ones that turned out were very good, many becoming some of my best to date.
