There were so many bolts that a blind guy with a Fisher Price camera could've got some!
The bolts died off to the Southwest so I shifted my focus to the Northwest and caught these beauties. Of course, as soon as I did that Southwest started kicking off again. This was the storm that just kept giving and giving!
I also got a tip from a fellow lightning shooter. He said when you're doing long exposure off of a tripod you should turn off the Stabilization if your lens has it. Evidently cars rolling by, people walking, etc will vibrate the tripod just enough to make the stabilization kick in when it's not needed. Something new to try I guess?
PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
