Description

While not an astronomy image, I thought I’d like to share this lightning shot, taken from my back patio in Williamson Arizona. (Although monsoon season is not good for astrophotography, it’s great for lightning photography!) The mountain in the foreground is Arizona’s famed Granite Mountain. This was exposure 1 of 100. The other 99 shots had no lightning at all. Looks like I lucked out.

Camera: Pentax K-1

Lens: Pentax 50mm f1.4 SMC

Exposure: 10 seconds at f5, ISO 800
