Storm – heath ofee dot com http://heathofee.com Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:08:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.6 First Strikes http://heathofee.com/2011/07/13/first-strikes/ http://heathofee.com/2011/07/13/first-strikes/#comments Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:08:31 +0000 http://heathofee.com/?p=2737 Now I don’t fancy myself a Mike Olbinski or Scott Wood, or any of the amazing storm chasing/lightning shooting photogs out there, but I couldn’t resist stopping for my first attempt at capturing lightning. I was on my way home from an evening of shooting at the Calgary Stampede, and the lightning strikes were coming quite frequently all the way home. I knew there was a decent spot I could hit just down the street from my house where our new community ends, so I made way there as quickly as possible to set up. While on my way there, I was wracking my brain trying to remember as many details from Mike’s great lightning photography tutorial post, and I think I remembered just enough to be dangerous. These are by no means spectacular, but I thought they were worth sharing anyway 🙂

Inspired by Mike Olbinski, who has some amazing storm photos, I decided it was worth the loss of sleep and ventured out last Thursday night to get me some brackets!

I live in a relatively new suburb so there is still plenty of open space and construction going on and I knew just where I could find a good vantage point to see this storm…it was just luck that there was some tall wavy grass growing on the hill that happened to make for a perfect foreground. I thought about masking in one of the originals to keep the grass looking a bit more stationary, but I kinda like the flowing feel that the windswept grass gives. Hope you enjoy!
