We had another epic storm tonight, lightning and thunder non-stop! I wasn’t going to head out because I have a lot of work to catch up on.. but then just couldn’t help myself.. definitely worth the 45 minutes I took.. This is a 71 second exposure, 1 continuous shot, no layering or anything tricky like [...]
