Too Close for Comfort!

: Too Close for Comfort!; I love thunderstorms and love to try and get pictures of lightening. This was my very first bolt of lightening I got. It was in Harrington, Washington in Eastern Washington. I was actually in my home leaning against the metal door frame of my sliding glass door, I know not smart at all. I was surprised to see it when I downloaded it and realized just how close the bolt was. I sent it to our local news station in Spokane, Washington where it was featured as weather pic. The meteorologist commented that I was obviously too close to lightening and even mentioned the temperature of the bolt. I can't remember what it was.

Great shot, just remember if you are going to get that close to lightning have someone who knows cpr not too far away.

Thank you Don. It is exciting to capture them. I hope to learn more about how to use my camera better to better my chances.

Hi Lissab, great 1st lightning shot! I'm also am a big storm/lightning lover. There is no bigger thrill than when you get a good lightning shot. Very nice capture, Don

Thanks. I actually got zapped at my computer by lightening last month and my phone got fried this week by a storm. My theory? It is much safer outside!! LOL!!

Hi Lissab, I also love thunderstorms and can't pass up snapping a few dozen shots every time one goes through. Congratulations on your photo being featured on the news station. Be careful out there.... Here where I live we are low with mountains around us. The lightning has not hit in the valley for the 30 years I have lived here but it hits the mountains all the time. I feel pretty safe taking lightning shots from my yard. I have moved inside though a few times when it got to wild for me...
