Caught a shot of Red Mountain getting a double whammy one night in 2018 as one of our awesome Arizona monsoon storms passed through. A big challenge with lightning photography is that it generally comes with rain, and sometimes a lot of it. If your lucky, the cell is more localized and you can shoot from just outside the rain area. One way or another, your likely to encounter some heavy rain and you have to be prepared if you want to to keep your equipment dry. Most of my lightning shots are composites of multiple exposures from on position - but these two bolts happened close enough together that they were both in the same exposure. Love shooting lightning - like so many aspects of photography; you never know what your going to get.
