Description
Cloud to ground lightning bolts striking the front range foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in Boulder County. A view of the Twin Peaks, Mount Meeker 13,911' and Longs Peak 14,256' in the distance. A very rare sight to see because with most storms the cloud cover is low and you can not see the Peaks or Continental Divide. This storm came in fast about 8:30 pm, one thing I have learned about Colorado Lightning storms in the springtime... they come in fast and do not last long. For me as soon as I saw some flashed in the sky, out the door and landed where I could to get a composition view of Longs Peak. The Lightning was all over in less than twenty minutes. It moved north but died out. Looking forward to the warmer weather when the lightning in the storm last a little longer. There are 8 Lightning images in the series this is number six. Here are my settings for this Lightning session. ISO 100 - 20sec - f5.6 - 28mm. Hope you enjoy them.

A total WOW factor on this shot, James! I just love the setting that this blast of mother nature has entered in its beauty and strength! The scenery alone is beautiful, but with the dark clouds and the magical lighting bolts, just make this a splendid capture and very masterfully caught and presented. Thanks for sharing this moment of mother nature's glory with us, James! I really enjoyed viewing this great spectacle! Got the big, "Elvis" F/V on this magnificent piece of work!
