Description
And then a long, wet walk back to my Jeep. Really, really, really wet. It's a good thing I carry a rain cover for my camera bag.Related content

The rain came as a gift from heaven I guess?

Sounds good to me! The clouds were a gift for sure, and I guess the rain was part of it. I have an umbrella, but I try to avoid using it when there is lightning. It seems like asking for trouble!

Yes, not a good idea if you want to keep safe from lightning. It's not that bad getting wet and your camera is protected againt the rain. You are dry before you know it! It's the lightning you have to worry about. Sitting close to the ground balancing on one leg keeps you safe. But really, I don't believe you have an umbrella with you.

Haha! It's true, I promise! I use it when I want to take photos in the rain without getting my camera wet. It's very tricky, by the way, holding an umbrella while taking photos. It makes me feel very clumsy.

Great shot, Nathan! You can definitely tell by those clouds that it was going to rain.

Haha! Yes, I knew the rain was coming and I stayed out there until the last possible second. I was trying (and failing) to shoot a lightning strike. Funny thing, though, it wasn't THAT rain that got me. The wind shifted and it came from behind instead.
