Shoot type: Storm Chase # of images: 3 | Synopsis: From a photography standpoint, this was one of my finest storm chases of the year and it was spontaneous, as I had no real intentions of storm chasing this day. This ended up being my best lightning photography shoot of the year to date as I managed to capture numerous cloud-to-ground flashes in good light right around sunset from high-based thunderstorms with semi-transparent precipitation cores. I happened to capture an amazing staccato cloud-to-ground flash at close range with a windmill composed in the shot, which is probably my most rewarding shot of the entire storm chase season. From a pure photography standpoint, this was a 5 out of 5, because the lightning was just excellent and at the perfect time during the so-called photographer "golden hour"
