Wet and Wild

Today I decide to call this Post "Wet and Wild", just like the water park in Greensboro.

I got a phone call by photography mentor to do lightning storm photos tonight.

By the time we got to his pond the storm was in fully charging with bolts but the rain did not stop us then.


At the first location I used ISO  400 and the manual bulb mode to do this shot at my photography mentors pond, right across from were he lives. By the time it had started raining we decided to pack up from his pond location.


We then went to  my pond location at my neighborhood We got really good lightning photos at my neighborhood pond.

In these photographs done at my pond I used the Manual mode again with the ISO set to 250 which is good for capturing lightning at night.

Including some cloud bolt shots with them just like these, that i am about to show you readers that read my blog.

Hope everyone got some sleep with this thunderstorm that lasted till 3 'clock in the morning.

 Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday.  This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these  very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

This is a Great Egret, I photographed during sunrise conditions with my mentor walkabout at Jordan Lake.  I decided to make a silhouette against the colors of the sunrise conditions with the Great Egret in front of the reflection of the sunlight on the water at Jordan Lake. This is a crab spider , I photographed on my butterfly bush, that I planted a few month back in the spring. I have had many photographic opportunities to get many insect and butterflies and hummingbirds as well. This common pond slider was taken at my neighborhood pond at the beginning of September . This turtle was warming its self with the sun on the bank and I got many pictures of that as well.  This is a Garden Spider, I photographed with walkabout at Gold Park in Hillsbrough. Garden Spiders are very cool to photograph in this area of central of North Carolina.  This a Osprey, I also photographed at Jorda
