Pretty swampy mess most of the evening, then this sweet little jumper popped out of nowhere...

Bolts and Coffee... That totally works. Jumped on this cell before 0900... She sparked up a bunch of internal rain wrapped trash, but was kind enough to throw this out right near the end of her life cycle. 8.15.2020 Sarasota Florida #shotzdelight #ig_skyvibes #storm #storm_scape #ig_stormclouds #lightning #miops #sarasota_florida #nikon #boltz #florida #itsamazingoutthere #chasing #upearly #strike #StormHour #bestofthesunshinestate_storms #sky_sultans #cannabisculture #ig_captured #stormchaser #weather_outdoors #longexposure #onfire_allpics #sky_brilliance #bestofusa_storms #raw_florida #raw_seasons #myplanet_shots #atnightmagazine
Remember that awkward stage when a group of girls were out on the dance floor and you're on the sidelines geeking... This frame triggered that thought. Sarasota Fl 8.8.2020 major out break of electricity.

Cracked open my 2020 season last week with a couple cloud structure bolts. I'm a fan of the drama...

🌬🌴 🌧 Wind blown Palm Trees are the best! Sometimes I get so caught up in just shooting lightning and the heaviest part of the storm I forget to stop and just soak up the beautiful surroundings. This made me think - There's so much negativity right now all around us currently but we can't let it take us down. We have to keep the storms in the background and focus on the beauty in life. The storms can blow us around but that will just make us stronger, taller and more resilient. Take a moment today and read, post, say or do something positive. We can build each other up. - Justin Labadie _________ @canonusa 5D Mark IV Canon EF24-105mm F/4L IS II USM _________ ~ ~ #bigboltmedia #moodygrams #storms #storm_scape #earthpix #nakedplanet #lightningstorm #florida #tampabaylightning #canonbringit #canon #canonusa #canon_official #teamcanon #longexposure #roamflorida #cloud_porn #clouds #canonfanphoto #earthfocus #floridaexplored #canonphotos #onlyinflorida #sky_brilliance #florida_greatshots #tempestchasers #stormchaser #amazing_longexpo
⚡️⛈ Storm season is finally HERE! Went out in the middle of the night last night and captured a distant bolt going through the clouds. It really seems like it is going to be a hot and humid year. Perfect for decent thunderstorms 🤙 - @justintophotos
First lightning strike of 2020 ⚡️ 📷: @damon_powers •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• As a strong front moved through South Florida, I was out shooting under the Ringling Bridge in Sarasota. Conditions were super tough with the wind and rain but still managed to capture this one strike thanks to my @strikefinderphoto trigger 📸
Update. I know we haven’t really posted that much this year. This was unfortunately one of the worst years for storms here in South Florida. So not much content for you all. If you want to follow the team through the dry months here in Florida to see what else we’re up to, you can follow us at @justin_labadie @ch808_shoots @jhwhite50 @matt_roback @dano7886 and @damon_powers . Hoping that next summer we’ll have a much better storm season for you all ⚡️ • Photo by @damon_powers 📸

Hi friends. A few of you have asked about my situation here in Florida relative to #HurricaneDorian however, I've mostly been off the Instawebs. ⠀ Thankfully, our greater SW Florida SRQ/Tampa area has been spared impact. It is also looking good for most of Florida's east coast to be spared as well, since many early models had estimated far greater impact. ⠀ Like most of Florida, it's been a "hold your breath" holiday weekend. And like many, I've been keeping a close eye on Dorian. I've been watching "Tropical Tidbits" on YouTube, Levi has been giving a nightly update that is just plain outstanding.⠀ Also, if you're interested in keeping an eye on the front lines, check out our friend Jeff Gammons @stormvisuals ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ This image is what's known as "rain wrapped". The bolts were really popping hard on this night, but because there's so much rain (rain that gets smoothed out over a 25 second exposure) there isn't much light reflection off the water. The light reflection is being (mostly) diffused by the rain. Had there been no rain between me and the bolts, I could've lessened my time exposure and improved my reflection. The different and changing environments force us to constantly adjust our settings for capturing the bolts. If you are interested on learning how to shoot lightning, please subscribe to our @BigBoltMedia YouTube Channel. We're going to post another video soon..... I promise lol.⠀ 📸: @ch808_shoots ⠀ This image captured with:⠀ Canon EOS 5D Mark IV⠀ Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS II USM at 105mm⠀ ⠀ Settings:⠀ f/13⠀ 25 seconds⠀ ISO 200⠀ ⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ ⠀ #roamflorida #satysaltyflorida #floridasaltfreak #floridagreatshots #pureflorida⠀ ⠀ #weather #itsamazingoutthere #lightning #stormchasers #tempestchasers #flwx #floridaweather⠀ ⠀ #longexposure #amazing_longexpo #longexpo_addiction #longexpoelite #nightshooters
