Lightning and Cars - a photo on Flickriver

Lightning and Cars

Another shot from the storm that blew through on July 11th.

When I first scouted for my new spot to shoot from I thought I'd try the parking lot of Worldview Enterprises since it was fairly big and if it did start to downpour I'd be on asphalt instead of a muddy field. If you look on the map you'll see that Worldview is right off a road called Aerospace Parkway which is definitely not a main road so I figured it would be quiet, especially on a Tuesday night at 9:30 in the evening. Boy was I wrong!

Evidently this road is used a lot by Boy Racers to do their thing on. especially since it isn't a main road. There was plenty of traffic going by so I decided to find another spot where I'd be a bit more hidden from the road and wouldn't have to worry about any security folks coming by and asking questions.

This was 35 seconds in BULB mode. Not sure why but it seems that I was catching 3 bolts with each shot, maybe it was my timing?
