And now, the 90-degree days of autumn continue! Enjoy!

All that said, the photo above was taken after I’d wiped off the lens. The contrast wasn’t high, as the bolt lit up the cloud/precipitation in the air, and the ocean was pretty dark, but I like the subtlety. Also, I wanted to post it here because the social media outlets, like Facebook and Twitter, always make photos with this kind of subtle light look like crap. I realize the services are compressing them, but it still makes me a bit frustrated.

I loved the lines here: power lines, the laminar shelf cloud and lights on the road, with a bit of lightning in the background. Shot west of Cocoa, Florida, on April 13, 2015. Photo by Chris Kridler, ChrisKridler.com, SkyDiary.com

Still, there’s nothing more therapeutic than standing by the ocean, listening to the waves and thunder, while trying to capture a lightning bolt with my camera. Check out all the April storm photos below.
Stay tuned – the Tornado Alley chase is coming soon!

I’ve photographed not-so-great shots of the moon with a thunderstorm before, but nothing like this. Better yet, there were multiple shots, though the lead one shown here is definitely my favorite.
Meanwhile, prints of this photo (and other lightning images) can be ordered here.
