The Shot of a Lifetime!
The Shot of a Lifetime!
On the night of April 3, 2014, a large line of severe thunderstorms came roaring into Arkansas. I'm an avid storm chaser and love shooting lightning. I started first at the UP yard in Malvern, capturing some good bolts. I then jumped in the car and raced north core punching through heavy rain and more lightning to get ahead of the storms. In Little Rock, I knew the UP DDA40X is on display outside the Jenks Shop and would make for a great photo with the coming storm. Arriving just after midnight and setting up the camera on the tripod in the backseat pointing the camera lens out the window, I was ready. Pressing the cable release and triggering the shutter, at 12:39:59 am this massive bolt hit just behind the unit! The flash was so bright and instant thunder very loud, I closed the shutter and this is what was captured. The bolt was less than 100 yards away. The drive back home to Hot Springs, I was thanking the Lord for allowing me to witness and capture the "photo" of a lifetime.
