In and Out in a Flash

2022-01-29 By Roger Edwards

In and Out in a Flash

Later and to the west of a profuse round of in-cloud and cloud-to-air lightning, a few cloud-to-ground flashes decorated the trailing precipitation region of the storms to my north.   This one traveled through a tilted rain core along its path of least resistance.  A short time exposure let in only a little ambient late-twilight light, yet still blurred the moving clouds, creating a rather haunting mood to the scene.  I left very shortly after when another CG struck within less than a mile behind me.  This proved to be a good move for another reason too, getting me east of the storms for another round of electrical splendor.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
