Well on the 'off-season' from storm chasing I like to use this time to understand my camera a little better so I'm more prepared as a photographer come May and June when I'm chasing supercells and tornadoes. Of course, I'm still photographing winter weather, but when I'm not I'll use some free time to try a few different things. I guess you could say it's kind of like broadening your horizons as a photographer. Today, I decided to test my cameras limits with photography of the 'electric' sort. I've added a few images (my favorites) of a 'lightning' device that I purchased a good few years ago. It's not a lightning ball, but it does the same purpose. Touch it and well you know you're dealing with electricity. Find yourself a dark room and well let your camera do the res.
Well that's about all for this post. Hopefully, this is the closest I'll be getting to electricity anytime soon. I don't want to be this close to electricity in the Great Plains this spring no doubt. This was actually a cool experiment to get the correct settings on the camera to get some of the images pictured above. It was well worth the time and patience.
