Hahahahaha That was so much fun

It's 2:30 Am and I grab my Camera and run outside because there's a badass lightning storm outside. No rain, but lots of wind and tons and tons of lightning.
Tip 1: Take a Moment and put a shirt on... for serious. I didn't really think it through so I ran outside to the balcony wearing just my shorts, which feels really really amazing for a few minutes, very very refreshing. However, after about 10 or 15 minutes it can start to get to you.
Tip 2: Photographing lightning takes a lot of patience. More patience than my incredibly minuscule attention span can handle. Haha Standing there with the viewfinder up to my eye waiting for the lighting to strike was a lot of fun. I wish I would have brought my Tripod down with me. Once I was out on the balcony I didn't want to come back in and grab anything since everyone else around here is sleeping.
Tip 3: Take a freaking lot of pictures. I took three full rolls of film and I swear if I don't get at least a few great pictures I'm going to be really pissed. overall it was totally awesome.
