Artist's Point Storm (now with lightning!)

            A lightning strike in the distance over Artist's Point. Cook County, Minnesota.

For this shot, I got a little wet! I stacked a polarizer and ND Grad and then shot 2 to 3 second exposures. I ended up shooting about 300 pictures from this tripod placement (the waves pushed my tripod around at one point). Out of the 300 shots, three had lightning in it. Lot of dodging and burning going on. After I think about that, I may scale back a bit.
