LOCATION: Lake Champlain, Vermont (from my home)

CAMERA: Canon EF

LENS: Canon 50mm F1.4 lens

FILM: Fuji Velvia (Rated at 40 ISO)

A storm was rolling in from the north, so I quickly grabbed my camera and a tripod and ran down the stairs to the beach and set things up.  I attached a cable release to the shutter button and set the aperture to somewhere in the middle (approx F8) and set the shutter speed to the "bulb" setting and waited.  Using a long shutter speed I was able to capture several bursts of lightening in the distance before the rain started to come down. 

NOTE – I used a neutral density filter on the lens so as prevent over-exposure.
