Raleigh, NC predawn lightning
I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
Currently in Raleigh helping Matt (my brother) and his wife Beth move into their new house. Some nice storms fired this morning before dawn with some great lightning. As usual, rain kept me from setting up when the best were happening, but I did manage to catch one decent shot at Tryon Road and Gorman Street. If you look closely at the base of the lightning, you can see the blueish-green glow from a power line flashover caused by the strike.
