Photo of the Every Other Month
🕑 Added 2022-07-25 22:04:31 +0000 UTCI don't do a lot of self portraits, however this one has a moral. Attempting to milk every lightning drop from this surging storm in Montana, I had two cameras on tripods snapping away and a drone up. 45 seconds prior to the severe outflow winds I landed the drone, packed up the first camera and tripod and almost made it to the second camera before it smashed into the dirt. Luckily, there was no damage to the camera or lens (I'm aware of).
Let's call this one "A Bird In the Hand..."
MONSOON TIME:
Right now at home I look similar to the action shot above as I scramble to finish tasks and tie up loose ends before heading to Arizona and New Mexico this week.
Thanks Gang!

Hank, it's a beautiful shot. You scrambling in the foreground adds to the drama of the photo. Nice work, as always! Feel free to encourage the AZ monsoon to get up here to Salt Lake City, we are desperate for rain. Stay safe

Well, I'm headed out and it sure isn't AZ. Stopping in Denver to see the kids and teach the 3rd and 4th generation Cali kids to NOT park under a tree at Safeway and sit in the car when there is a meso w/ a rotating wall cloud. And from there...

Glad you're getting goodies. Our sea breeze season has been dead. Monsoons here I come.

Epic shots dude, been getting some crazy ones back here in Florida as well. Wish it was like this while you were here.

You should have seen the ones I didn't capture. Cheers Wendy.

Lesson learned. I wonder how long it'll take me to forget? Thanks Baldevi!

Woohoo!

Love this!

This is such a great shot! And yes, maybe a little lesson about being too eager for every shot you can get, and to maybe get a case/wrap for the cameras in case they take a tumble in the future. Likely they won't, since you had one already, lol. Good Luck and Good Hunting out in AZ & NM, may your cameras get some gorgeous shots of Stormy Weather!

The lightning in the background gives off Jarrell "dead man walking" vibes.
