Tony Laubach's Storm Chase Blog

I finally was able to get some lightning shots from here in town this evening when a weak thunderstorm moved northeast out of Jefferson County. I set up at my Wadsworth and Quincy perch and shot away for about 30 minutes, scoring the four shots below. Other weak storms developed in the area, but I was flushed out due to rain. Below are the four shots..







The three blue tinted shots were the first lightning shots taken on the Nikon D40x which had the 18-70mm lens. The purple tinted shot was taken on the Nikon D70s with the 18-50mm lens. This was also the first shoot where I was shooting on two cameras at the same time.

Regardless, I am thrilled to have finally scored some shots here in town! They should be aired on Channel 7 in the next few minutes.
