Hot Skys and Cool Alleys...
Hi everyone-
Man did we have a thunderstorm here last night. I reeaaaallllly wanted to go out and shoot for today's post but the rate and intensity of the lighting was unbelievable.
I am surprised that nothing caught fire in my neighborhood and that we kept our power on the whole time. I counted 10 strikes in just a couple of block area that I could see.
So instead of attempting to shoot something new and get struck I decided to take a lighting shot from a few weeks ago. I was at my friend Doug's and we were getting ready to leave and there was a storm to the north east of his house.
The lightning was cool and of course I didn't have a tripod. So next best thing I set the camera on the roof of the truck. It's not a good picture at all but it gives you an idea of the beautiful lightning show that night.
Today's other image continues the shoot of Steph. This was a shot that I knew I really wanted as soon as we arrived at the location.
It is one of my favorites from the shoot. I really like the depth of field as well as the way the coolness of her clothing balances the warm tones of the buildings.
Your feed back is welcome as always.
I will continue with my customer service rant on Monday. I will talk about, Toys R US, UPS and Heritage Auctions. Does no one care about their customers anymore???

My family is from Choteau, along the eastern slope of the Rockies between Great Falls and Browning.
My parents have a house there so we get there as often as possible.
I love Montana and I can't wait to make the move as well.
You may think the lightning shot is not very good, but I think it is outstanding.
