Lightning Storm North Scottsdale Az 85255
A massive lightning monsoon thunderstorm in North Scottsdale, Arizona. A scenic view of the famous zip code 85255, Pinnacle Peak, Reata Pass Area. . Many giant lightning bolts from high clouds striking the ground with mountains and city lights. A long 1024 second exposure. ISO 100 – f.7.1. This is a blast from the past and my old stomping grounds before the BUILD BABY BUILD people ruined it.
Praying Monk a Lightning Thunderstorm Poster
After chasing the storm to the top of the Praying Monk and getting the Big bang Lightning halo… I readjusted and got this image. The Praying Monk is a rock formation on the side of the famous Camelback mountain that sits in between Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona. From the first time I saw this I was always fascinated with it and thought It would make a great spiritual shot with lightning striking making the Monk come alive. This is a shot I worked on for three years. This is the real deal. I can not tell you how many times I went to my spot on the top side of this mountain and got nothing. This night was one of my most scariest nights chasing lightning. Nothing like being on the top of a huge rock with a tripod trying to get a shot. This storm circled the mountains and swung around the back side and came back around to me. This was a very exciting night of chasing lightning. Two texture layers added. A fine art lightning photography poster print, canvas art and stock image. © 2011 James Insogna 1-888-682-0122
