Lightning & Stars

I first started getting into photography when a friend shared a photo of the Milky Way. Ever since I saw it I knew I wanted to try to capture a photo of the stars and the Milky Way core. Along the way I would try to snap some pics of lightning and thunderstorms, as long as it’s from a safe distance of course.

I like to call this one “Paris Barn”. Was driving on a highway west of Indianapolis and saw this awesome barn. Stopped and met the owner, Mrs. Paris. Asked if I could take some pics of the Milky Way over her barn. Can’t wait to go back for more

Lightning over Badlands in South Dakota. This is my first picture I was ever able to capture lightning. It’s a grainy version as I did not yet understand what all those crazy numbers and dials meant on my camera, but still happy to catch it, and knew I wanted to learn more of how to succeed in photography

A single image from an approaching storm west of Indy. Set in my truck in a field for this one. So happy I was able to catch it

Always get big storms rolling in spring and summer time
