The first time.

I’ve been lucky enough to capture lightning strikes three different times.

Here’s my very first shot of lightning—and the most exhilarating. It was my last class of the HAAC Digitial photography class w/Jeff Raterink, and storms were coming. We were scheduled to shoot outside, and no one else showed because they figured it was canceled. So it was Jeff, his sidekick, James and me, down at the farmer’s market in a driving rain, ziploc bags taped over our cameras to keep them dry. We got drenched and blown about and it was one of coolest things I’ve ever done. Here I’m looking west and caught this over the Padnos buildings (I think).
