Rollinsville Colorado Lightning Thunderstorm
Fantastic afternoon thunderstorms roll in to the Colorado Rocky Mountains high country almost on a daily basis in the summer. Lightning strikes once or twice and moves in and out pretty fast. Mostly in the early or late afternoon time of day. It is vary hard to catch a still shot without a lightning trigger in the day especially when it is random and does not hit more then a couple times. But it can be done, I do not use a trigger.
This storm lightning strikes were about 20 to 25 at least, very rare to see that many and scary if you are on the mountain top Smile . 4:00pm, June 13th, 2015. This is a view of lightning striking over the small town of Rollinsville, Colorado, Gilpin County. The snow covered continental divide is right under the lightning bolts covered in clouds. This image was shot with a Canon 7D and is 4 image stack – ISO 100 – I.6 sec – f22 – 33mm.

Lightning Striking Longs Peak Foothills 4C Art Print
Lightning bolts, cloud to ground striking the front range foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in north Boulder County. A view of the Twin Peaks, Mount Meeker 13,911 ft. and Longs Peak 14,256 ft. in the distance.
This storm came in fast about 8:30 pm, one thing I have learned about Colorado Lightning storms in the springtime… they come in fast, leave the same way and do not last long. For me as soon as I saw some flashed in the sky, out the door and landed where I could to get a composition view of Longs Peak. As I was set up shooting a farmer showed up to deliver 8 boxes of live bees, he told me hopefully it will all go well. Lucky for me it did.
The Lightning was all over in less than twenty minutes. It moved north but died out. Looking forward to the warmer weather when the lightning in the storm last a little longer. There are 8 Lightning images in the series. This is number four. Here are my settings for this Lightning session. ISO 100 – 20sec – f5.6 – 28mm.
