storm

I had no idea it was suppose to storm on Saturday, but all of the sudden the clouds came rolling in. Good thing I didn’t have any plans for around sunset time so I was able to go out and shoot. It was a lucky surprise to see the rainbow, but I didn’t even see the beginning of the second rainbow until I brought the images up onto my computer. So cool to see what the camera picks up and not your eyes.

Love summer storms. They just seem to be more dramatic than any other season. Am I right? Is it because of the warmer air? I don’t know but they’re awesome. Not to self: No white tshirts when out shooting dramatic clouds. That never ends well.

I was on my way home when I was passing by the Iwo Jima memorial. It was pouring but I figured I’d wait around to see what would happen. Luckily as soon as I arrived, there was a break in the rain. I ran as fast as I could and grabbed a few shots. I was super lucky that one of them got this little lightning strike. I don’t know which is more surprising, the fact that this was hand held or that I barely got wet trying to get it. Both are a win to me 🙂
