Did a little storm chasing
 
The lightning, wind and rain chased my dog and I back home and we made it just in time. The lightning was striking every 3-5 seconds. The dog was a little scared, but we made it through with our power on this time so that was nice. Here are a few pics I snapped. I am still trying to take low light pictures on my Nikon D80.

sounds more like the storm did some todd chasing...awsome photos...had a few roll through here not long ago

Todd we never saw lightning like that down in Medford.... open your aperture up a little bit and turn your shots on motion, set the iso speed a little higher and put the motion eliminator on... your shots will be much improved but they're good... better than the ones I get on my fuji...

to many...We have several deaths a year from strikes : (
Plus it sure can do damage to your electronic's no matter
what surge protector's you have : (
I don't mess with the Power's of Mother Nature
4-Sure
Thanks for sharing/posting

HOLY MOLY Todd. From the pics of it, it seamed like a nasty storm. Thats how we get them here. Always fun.

Teacher 08-03-2009 11:04 AM

We are supposed to have lightning for the next 6 days.

Robyn I have been getting lazy with the auto settings so i will get the manual out and try as you suggested. Medford is the armpit of Oregon. Things are much better on the east side of the mountains. lol

Todd... i know medford is the armpit of oregon. More like the ass crack. That town sucks donkey.... Portland is gorgeous. I love reno. I miss home... I'll have to fly out that way and we can do a monte run to reno or something. I aint drivin my car cross country..... she'd die!

Teacher 08-03-2009 02:34 PM

I do enjoy reno. Tahoe is amazing. I have not been on a long road trip in the Monte yet.
