Lightning. Why it made me go inside…
Okay, I love taking pictures of lightning. It is one of my all time favorite things to photograph. Mainly, because you have absolutely no control over it. You don’t know where it is going to be next and it is necessary that you have some knowledge in exposures in order to get what you want. Anyway, I was catching the lightning show as it passed through Springfield, MO and captured this beast.
Most of the strikes were behind the clouds, so it looked more like a strobe light, than a lightning show. So, I had all but decided to pack it up when THIS happened! What couldn’t have been more than just a couple hundred yards away, this lighting strike actually made me jump and set off car and home security alarms all through the neighborhood! I kid you not. SO, I casually grabbed my gear [after doing a little dance and fist pumping the sky, because I knew I had caught it] and went inside.
The first picture is the actual exposure I captured. The second, however, is the overexposed image explaining why the lightning made me go inside…

Sunday Funday!
It is an absolutely beautiful day in the Ozarks. I couldn’t help but snap a few. From top left to bottom right: My son Jack who is three [3] months old in two days actually focusing in on things – blowing my mind how quick he is progressing. Then, same boy in the next two, just hanging out with Daddy. Finally, our dog, Izzy. She is amazing and so well behaved and loving the weather!
