Home Forums Gear Photography Bulls and Bolts

With the summer rains and thunderstorms starting, I went up to the Grand Canyon for a couple of days to photograph some lightning and elk. The lightning was often evasive to me, mostly off in the distance or hidden behind the clouds. One six point bull did oblige as it munched on the oak leaves.

great pics as always

Summer monsoons early up here this year too

Let's keep the forests wet !

Great pics, lighting looks to be just fine.

Tikkanut and Dye7barrel - Thanks. Maybe the early greenup will help the deer and elk finish out the antler growth. Looks like the summer rains will be taking this week off. A fresh 9v battery for the lightning trigger is waiting for the return of the thunderstorms.

What is a lightning trigger?

The lightning trigger detects the infrared light associated with the lightning bolt and trips the shutter so the camera captures the bolt. The trigger attaches to the hot shoe and in connected via remote cable to the camera.
