Jhaz > Casa Grande Thundershower Movie This small five second movie is comprised of 53 frames, each representing 25 seconds of time. It covers 22 minutes in the life of an approaching thundershower. A nearly full moon and plenty of cloud-to-cloud lightning provide the light. Personally, I find it amazing to see the different directions of the clouds at the various levels. The pictures were taken west of Red Rock, Arizona, from 9:30 pm to 9:52 pm on August 19, 2005.
Jhaz > Twin Peaks Lightning in Blue Multiple lightning strikes during a very active thundershower over the Tucson Mountains. The white balance of this picture has been adjusted to provide a bluish result, similar to what some film cameras produce (just playing here). The picture was taken from Marana, Arizona, looking south towards Twin Peaks on August 6, 2005. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 45mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 6 second exposure.
Jhaz > Marana Lightning Composition 2 Two pictures, taken within a minute of each other, have been combined to produce the effect of a longer exposure for this very active storm. This thundershower occurred during what would normally be a very dry time of year, many weeks before the monsoon would even start. Taken from the southwestern foothills of the Tortolita Mountains on May 28, 2005. Each picture: Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 75mm, ISO 200, and f/9. One picture is a two second exposure and the other a seven second exposure.
Jhaz > A Sunset to Remember An amazing lightning display that occurred all in one instant from a small thundershower near the Silverbell Mountains. Taken just east of Pinal Air Park on July 18, 2004. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/4.0, 8 second exposure.
Jhaz > Sunset Lightning Interesting cloud-to-cloud lightning followed by a sudden lightning bolt to ground. This was taken just after sunset east of Pinal Air Park on July 18, 2004. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/4.0, 5 second exposure.
Jhaz > Picacho Lightning 2 The day after taking the pictures "A Sunset to Remember" and "Sunset Lightning," this small, photogenic thundershower formed in the same location and produced cloud-to-ground lightning strikes for over an hour as it moved slowly north. Taken just east of Pinal Air Park on July 19, 2004. Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/3.5, 15 second exposure.

Jhaz > Homey Lightning Taken at Dove Mountain during an active thundershower. Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75mm at 75mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 7 second exposure.
Jhaz > Electric Saguaro Composition This was an effort to make use of five lightning pictures I had taken over the course of four minutes time. Each picture had only a small amount of lightning and it was very distant (I had reached the maximum focal length of my camera). By overlaying each picture and averaging the result, I was able to add some color to the cloud base (from lights in the city of Tucson, which is just over the horizon). The final result had a very smooth, silky appearance with some unusual colors. Taken from the northwest part of Tucson looking south over the city on August 12, 2003. Each picture: Canon Powershot G2, ISO 50, f/3.2, 10 second exposure.
