Colorado Stormin…..

During my recent trip to Colorado, I had to withstand the torments of a thunder and lightning storm that was extremely electric.

A thunder and lightning storm passes through the Steamboat Springs area of Colorado.

 

Storm clouds rolling in.

Even a bit of snow fell around my tent.

 

Residual fog lifts from the valley below the next morning.

      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 Eliza! It was a bit crazy so I ran into my truck for safety until the storm passed

    Wow, that must be an incredible experience, as your images demonstrate, even snow at your tent.

    Very cool pics!! I’ve never managed a good lightning photo yet.

      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
