The storm eventually came over me really fast so I ran into my truck as lightning was striking nearby. The fog came rolling right up the mountain, kinda of like a spirit. Thanks Lexi

Terrific scenes you’ve captured here, Mike. I think I would have been more than a little nervous to weather a storm on a mountain!

Thanks M.B. There’s different ways to shoot lightning. I just use a tripod and timer and take a bunch of photos, hoping one of them captures lightning
