We have been having a very wet and stormy year here in Southeast Florida. I decided to try and take advantage of the weather pattern to go out and capture one of my favorite subject matters, Lightning. Each year I have committed to dedicate some free time to chase storms and create a lightning portfolio. Unfortunately, every year something important occurs on the best storm/lightning days or nights. At least this year I was able to spend a whole day chasing storms and as a result got some exciting lighting images to add to my collection.
I chased these storms from the entrance to Everglades National Park all the way to Flamingo. A few times I probably got a little closer than I should have. During one of the storms I could not get out of the truck because the lighting was almost directly overhead. The bolt and thunder were occurring simultaneously.
