From our deck in Carbondale, Co
 
this is a shot I actually wanted to erase. I took it without any purpose a few weeks ago after I came home from an appointment.
The minute after I took the shot the storm broke loose and torrential rain dumped my neighborhood.
I don't know why I never looked at the image until today. At first I thought just erase it, it doesn't have a great foreground or anything great in it at all. But these clouds and the eerie mood, wow. I'm glad I decided to keep it

we had some crazy storms yesterday. But I did not end up with the shot I wanted. First the lightning was too close for comfort and almost hit me and my tripod while I was out there. I really considered to leave it out in the field and ran back to my car without it. But then I decided against it.
After the storm moved on I tried to get my storm sunset shots, but the storm engulfed everything within minutes.

So here are a few shots I could take during a roughly 2 minute break in between

my originally goal was to get the tree and the storm clouds with a rainbow above it. It might have worked, but the clouds were too thick and the sunlight not strong enough
 
These are from a couple different thunderstorms earlier this summer. Both storms had so much lightning in a predictable direction that I was able to try to set up to get certain buildings in the foreground. The Nebraska State Capitol building is the tall building on the left. The tower in the second is the bell tower for a local church.
