Electric Company
by Stan Rose
In keeping with the storm theme, here's one from Ponca City OK last week. I was storm chasing, and saw this storm move south of the city after leaving a mexican place for dinner, so i drove off down the road in search of a good fg. Fortunately there was this power plant south of town, which was perfect for the metaphor of Nature trumping Man, so i pulled off on a farm road and walked out into a field to get some shots. Spent about half an hour firing off numerous 5 second exposures--nearly every one had multiple lightning strikes cause the storm was so electrical--one of the best lightning displays ive witnessed--it was just mesmerizing. This is one of my favs of that shoot.

I dunno, Martin--i think the reason i mentioned that is that i ran into Mike Umscheid there--he's a fellow weather forecater/chaser and well known storm photographer.

Sandy--yes, a terrible thing (Tim's death). I'd like to think id never put myself in that amount of danger.
That image is just nuts.
