A Stormy Saturday at Home

Saturday evening, after a nice day with a walk in the woods, I went and saw the Princess Mononoke IMAX release in northern Kansas City and came out to a light drizzle starting with some incredible lightning going on. Most of the actual lightning seemed to go north and south of me, but I wanted to see if I could get pictures of it. I'd only tried shooting lightning once before and got nothing before the actual rain got to me.

This time was a bit more successful as I stood in my driveway with the camera pointing south and fiddling with settings, eventually just setting the camera to interval shooting taking a half second exposure every second. The houses across the road were blocking most of it and I could have probably done better just sticking my camera out of the upstairs window. But it's something, and they'll be other lightning storms.
