New on 500px : Dark Queen of the Sky by dustinwongphotography by dustinwongphotography

On my recent Oregon Coast trip, I thought I had wrapped up my photography adventures and started heading back towards home (Seattle). It was raining hard and I could see lightning in the distance. After passing through one storm, I approached another and saw 3 large bolts come down within 20 minutes of each other. I had no idea where I was and there were no obvious places to pull over and get a shot, plus I was exhausted from a week of shooting and driving up and down the coast.

I took the highway my GPS navigated me to and it was taking me away from the storm, so I figured my opportunity was gone. Then right as I pass this full size 747 jet at the Evergreen Museum, a bolt strikes behind it lighting up the sky. I find a place to turn around, (but it took me a while), so I missed three bolt strikes. I grabbed my gear and hurried off into the dark to find a composition. I quickly set up my sequence to shoot off a bunch of shots and instantly get this bolt. It was the only one I captured as the storm had moved farther to the west and was no longer behind the plane. I don’t normally shoot man made structures like this, but the opportunity was there. Hope you enjoy this one!
