I didn’t capture my first lightning shot until 2019, but once I did, I was hooked.  I was sitting in a brewery one night with a friend when I started tracking the lightning behind him as we talked.  As the lightning got closer to Sloans lake, I knew the reflection there would be phenomenal, so I rushed home to grab my camera.  I got back to the park set up my camera and took the shot only to realize that my memory card was still in my computer at home.  I rushed back home, back to the park, and finally snapped the best lightning photo I have captured to date.  The power of perseverance can never be understated.  I could not have asked for a better reflection of the lightning bolt from this storm while also framing the Denver skyline off to the far left.
