August Thunderstorm in the Plains


I drove north of Williston, North Dakota one warm August evening to check out a thunderstorm approaching town. It looked like a promising subject, so I took as many ten-second exposures as I could in the hopes that I'd capture a few decent lightning images.

I kept at it until the first gusts from the approaching storm hit, kicking up clouds of dust as I made a beeline for my car. Once safely inside, I reviewed the images stored in my camera, and was happy to find this photo in the mix.
