If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!

For the past week of so, I’ve had it in my mind to photograph a few local landmarks at the golden hour in the evening. Or perhaps even first thing in the morning. However, it seems every time I have a few minutes to break away, our Florida summer storms are right there to interfere with my light!

Oh well, when you have lemons, make lemonade – and when you have storms, make storm photos! Here are a few shots I’ve taken in the past week, taking advantage of the rainy weather here in Saint Petersburg.

    Really nice pics and a great job taking advantage of the weather. I really love the towering clouds in the first image.

    I’ve been getting the lightning itch. There’s gotta be a decent vantage point around here to photograph electrical storms :) Awesome photos, Mike. Looks like you and the 7D are getting along famously :)
