With the Bow river discoloured brown and already bursting at the seams from all the runoff, a new storm built up and rumble over the Rocky Mountains. I had about 10 minutes before I was engulfed in the thunderstorm, which gave me just enough time to set up my gear and safely get a few photos of the clouds and lightning strikes off in the distance. As luck would have it this strike happened in the perfect spot for my composition. Not wanting to push my luck, I packed up my gear and ran for my car as the clouds opened up above me.

When you got the shot, it’s easier to leave.
Yes, very true! It’s also easier to leave when you know that you can’t outrun a lightning bolt and you’re carrying a metal tripod on an exposed hill!
Also good points!!
