A bunch of lightning slams into the valley around the Superstition Mountains and the Saguaro Lake area near the Beeline Highway. This is a stacked image from a minute 30 seconds of shots. Was so light out, had to shoot at f/22 for a 1 second exposure.

Thanks guys!

Just to make sure you know, this is three images stacked together from strikes that happened within a minute thirty seconds.

At that time of day, I could only muster a 1 second exposure, so I was rapidly firing hoping to catch something. And got these three :)

Great shot rewarded after all your hard work. May I ask if you are uisng photo software to 'stack' shots? I've only recently read about stacking while trying to photograph the moon. Awesome photos.

Hey!

Yeah, I used Photoshop for this...it's pretty simple, I just did a "lighten" blend for each layer and it lets the lighter parts blend with the bottom layers.

Pretty sweet deal :)
