Lightning shots from south of Phoenix

I’ve been south of Hunt Highway twice today, once to take shots of developing storms, the second time was around 8pm to see if I could get our little pocket camera to shoot some lightning.

I switched it to an AutoISO mode and continuous shot mode. I put it on a tripod, aimed it southwest and held the shutter button down. It took about 576 shots in about 20 minutes, and I got three really good ones and a couple of so-sos.

And by “good”, I mean they were good for what a little pocket camera can do. Maybe I can work on the settings a bit more to get it better.

Anyways, hope you enjoy them.
