Chasing Storm Clouds

As the storm clouds were building up in the northeast yesterday afternoon, I grabbed the camera and tripod and headed that way. This storm had some strength as the tail winds were quite powerful making it difficult to steady the camera. There were lightening strikes in the mists of the clouds which gave me an idea on capturing them. I decided to make an experiment with my camera using the interval timer. I closed my aperture down to f22 and set my ISO to 200 to get as long an exposure as I could for each shot. I then was set up my camera to shoot an image every 5 seconds for as many images as I wanted. No such luck but I think it will work and I’ll try it again some time. This is not one of those images but one I really liked and showed the power in the storm. Has anyone ever done this before? I did enjoy my time away from the city noise and watching nature show off.
