Lightning Frog

Lightning isn't the easiest to capture. But is rewarding once you do though. Throw the camera in high speed continuous mode and just start shooting when you think the time is right...or at least, that's my technique. Exposure is important to, too much will give you a washed out bolt, to little, you can't see much of the surroundings. This storm dropped some heavy rain and some pretty amazing lightning. I am excited for some more storms to roll through!

This little guy was right outside my door. He was a jumpy little frog, but was nice enough to sit still for a second so I can get an upclose shot. Love the detail in the eyes. I don't use flash very often, but in this case, it worked out pretty well. Poor frog though...probably went blind from flashing him so much...
